Trail.

What a waste of time.!!

Seriously, I am joking. Don't consume that statement at its face value and Lancaster trail was time spent well.

The trail was a team event and the person behind the scene who created and planned did an excellent job and needs to be complemented. Seriously it was a trail that required good knowledge about the city and its historical importance, which I did.

The trail led us to many different parts of the city and get all answers correct, an excellent team coordination was required (it was evident in our scores). All of us spreaded out in different directions and I was myself in the museum and learnt quite a lot about the city and its historical importance. The thing that I noticed in the museum was that the army regiment from Lancaster was deployed in India, during 3 wars that Britishers fought in India among many, the most famous being the "Sepoy Mutiny" of 1857.

Here is a picture of what I did at the museum. I colored two sheets of pre-drawn sketches and I was coloring a picture for the first time after passing from the school.


Another interesting artifact in the museum was the Roman Tombstone. It was a very large tombstone and was quite intriguing. There were many other items that may fascinate history buffs, but I was impressed.

I have to narrate this, later when I went for the lunch with the team. In Britain is that I don't get the food that I want and the vegetarian food is not always the one that I expect. Sometimes, I think, I waste a lot of money on food outside. It is better to cook or eat bread with some sides. Why can't English food be a bit palatable? I am still looking for a place that serves good palatable vegetarian food. The place we went in had a great ambience. It was a wine cellar during the old days which is now converted into a good restaurant.

The best part of the day was the creation of Scrap book. It was required to log our findings of the city during the day. It came out really well and the creativity was at its best.

The thing that remains is to maintain the momentum that this trail generated. I am sure we can maintain it.
