Reading Adventures
I finished Perilous Fight by Stephan Budiansky. I enjoyed it, although the writing style drove me a little crazy. He clearly researched this era thoroughly. I learned a lot about this war and enjoyed the discussion.

Reading Thought
Chapter 6 of Perilous Fight: The British are inventing all kinds of ridiculous excuses to explain away America's success against the renowned Royal Navy. They didn't learn their lesson about underestimating the young United States after the previous war?
However, the English are having success in land battles, which I had forgotten were even a part of this war. I thought this one was fought exclusively at sea.
Anfitheatro Romano
The most interesting this about this amphitheatre is that at times the Romans used to fill it with water and watch naval battles from the stands. Boggles the mind.
