Rosetta Stone Field Trip

           On Tuesday, March 8th, the Rosetta Stone students went to the Wabasha Street Caves and the Swedish Museum. Mrs. Strehlow and Mr. Hulse chaperoned us. We took a mini bus and drove there. We explored the caves and heard cool stories about them, like mushrooms grew in them for a while. Gangsters hung out in them, and some were killed in the caves and never found. It was very interesting to learn about the types of things that went on in St. Paul years ago.

            After we left the caves, we went for an early lunch at Boca Chica’s. They had great Mexican food. Then, we just cruised around and looked at different gangster hideouts. We went to the Swedish Museum next. It was a mansion/castle and was gorgeous. When we got inside, we went on a tour of it. It was amazing. Much of it was restored to how it originally looked. We learned a lot about Swedish people and their traditions. It was also really cool to hear other things from history, like a very intricate stain glass window. The whole experience was fascinating and educational. We were glad that we got to do it.
