Hoot's Route in Chester

Today we have decided to explore Chester using a map. With this map we had to find some typical relics which were used by Romans when they lived there. The owls lived with them in that time so this route is called "Hoot's Route" (Ruta de Ulular).
It was a challenge for us because we had to ask people the right directions to find the artefacts and the owls.

This is an example of a typical English day because it was raining. It was not very heavy it was drizzeling.

1. First we went to "The Hat Place" where there was a hat made in 1920's.
