They loved the guy that turned up now an then to tell them various tales of the history of certain tanks (they also loved watching him be QUITE STERN with a couple of older boys that were being a bit too rowdy... AND THEN they loved watching him kick those boys right out the front door!) That is what they talked about for the rest of the day, I kid you not!!! The lesson was well learned by them- DO NOT mess with a retired officer, the man is serious and will not hesitate to carry out his threats! You can see him in a photo explaining Army things to the P... he really did just pop up everywhere. They were VERY well behaved for the ENTIRE tour!! I wanted to take him home with us, but I was sure he would be missed by his family:-(.
My favorite things were the car General Patton rode in,
the cool da Vinci model of a tank,
the recruiting posters,
and they had a piece of the Berlin wall!
My absolute favorite thing there , though, was the Sicilian donkey cart. Random? Maybe. But it was amazing, beautiful, and I wanted to wrap it up and take it home with me:-). It made me want to have a donkey just so I could have a cart like this... seriously.
