About Mother of Rome. . .The names Romulus and Remus may be immortalized in map and stone and chronicle, but their mother exists only as a preface to her sons’ journey, the princess turned oath-breaking priestess, condemned to death alongside her children.
But she did not die; she survived. And so does her story.
Beautiful, royal, rich: Rhea has it all—until her father loses his kingdom in a treacherous coup, and she is sent to the order of the Vestal Virgins to ensure she will never produce an heir.
Except when mortals scheme, gods laugh.
Rhea becomes pregnant, and human society turns against her. Abandoned, ostracized, and facing the gravest punishment, Rhea forges a dangerous deal with the divine, one that will forever change the trajectory of her life…and her beloved land.
To save her sons and reclaim their birthright, Rhea must summon nature’s mightiest force – a mother’s love – and fight.
All roads may lead to Rome, but they began with Rhea Silvia. Lauren J. A. Bearwas born in Boston and raised in Long Beach. After studying English at UCLA and education at LMU, she taught middle-school humanities for over a decade—and survived! She is a teaching fellow for the Holocaust Center for Humanity and lives in Seattle with her husband and three young children. She likes crossword puzzles and being on or near the water without getting wet.

Space Needle

Night view

M53***37

The Space Needle is actually quite nice. It is even more beautiful on sunny days! Seattle is not like other big cities in the United States. It actually has a petty-bourgeois feel! The Museum of Pop and Chihuly Glass Tube near the Space Needle are both great to visit! I forgot the ticket price, but it seemed to be more than $30. I like the big lawn behind the Space Needle, and then walk along the park towards the coastline. In the evening, I gradually see the sunset slowly appearing between the houses. It is so romantic! The top of the Space Needle is also decorated as a Christmas tree on Christmas! This little thought is so lovely!

Pike Place Fish Market

简一日记

If you want to know the authentic Seattle flavor, go to the Parker market; if you are a coffee lover, you must go to the Parker market to punch in the first Starbucks on the planet. I wrote a note on the Parker market, if you are interested, you can go to learn more about ❤️

University of Washington (University of Washington), referred to as UW, is a public research university located in Washington state, not only the oldest public university in the West Bank of the United States, but also known as the top three most beautiful universities in the United States! If you come to Seattle, make sure to schedule a day of sightseeing, and you won&#39;t be disappointed! Huada is famous for its beautiful natural environment and excellent academic atmosphere. Walking on the campus, you will find trees shaded, birds and flowers, as if you are in a huge botanical park, there are many landmarks on the campus, The most famous is the Harry Potter-style library. The Chinese joked that Suzhou Building is not only a holy place for academic research, but also a popular place for taking pictures and punching in. Standing in front of the library, you will be shocked by its solemn momentum. More shocking is the scene of the fountains and snowy mountains, and every year, the cherry blossom season, countless tourists from home and abroad flock here to see this unique natural wonder!
