The Ambush That Changed History
An amateur archaeologist discovers the field where wily Germanic warriors halted the spread of the Roman Empire
- By Fergus M. Bordewich

"This is the soil of 2,000 years ago, where we are standing now," Susanne Wilbers-Rost was saying as a young volunteer pried a small, dark clod out of it. Wilbers-Rost, a specialist in early German archaeology, peered through wire-rimmed glasses, brushed away some earth, and handed an object to me. "You're holding a nail from a Roman soldier's sandal," she said. Atrim, short-haired woman, Wilbers-Rost has worked at the site, which is ten miles north of the manufacturing city of Osnabrück, Germany, since 1990. Inch by inch, several young archaeologists under her direction are bringing to light a battlefield that was lost for almost 2,000 years, until an off-duty British Army officer stumbled across it in 1987.
The sandal nail was a minor discovery, extracted from the soil beneath an overgrown pasture at the base of Kalkriese (the word may derive from Old High German for limestone), a 350-foot-high hill in an area where uplands slope down to the north German plain. But it was further proof that one of the pivotal events in European history took place here: in A.D. 9, three crack legions of Rome's army were caught in an ambush and annihilated. Ongoing finds—ranging from simple nails to fragments of armor and the remains of fortifications—have verified the innovative guerrilla tactics that according to accounts from the period, neutralized the Romans' superior weaponry and discipline.
It was a defeat so catastrophic that it threatened the survival of Rome itself and halted the empire's conquest of Germany. "This was a battle that changed the course of history," says Peter S. Wells, a specialist in Iron Age European archaeology at the University of Minnesota and the author of The Battle That Stopped Rome. "It was one of the most devastating defeats ever suffered by the Roman Army, and its consequences were the most far-reaching. The battle led to the
creation of a militarized frontier in the middle of Europe that endured for 400 years, and it created a boundary between Germanic and Latin cultures that lasted 2,000 years." Had Rome not been defeated, says historian Herbert W. Benario, emeritus professor of classics at EmoryUniversity, a very different Europe would have emerged. "Almost all of modern Germany as well as much of the present-day CzechRepublic would have come under Roman rule. All Europe west of the Elbe might well have remained Roman Catholic; Germans would be speaking a Romance language; the Thirty Years' War might never have occurred, and the long, bitter conflict between the French and the Germans might never have taken place."
Founded (at least according to legend) in 753 b.c., Rome spent its formative decades as little more than an overgrown village. But within a few hundred years, Rome had conquered much of the Italian peninsula, and by 146 b.c., had leapt into the ranks of major powers by defeating Carthage, which controlled much of the western Mediterranean. By the beginning of the Christian Era, Rome's sway extended from Spain to Asia Minor, and from the North Sea to the Sahara. The imperial navy had turned the Mediterranean into a Roman lake, and everywhere around the rim of the empire, Rome's defeated enemies feared her legions—or so it seemed to optimistic Romans. "Germania" (the name referred originally to a particular tribe along the Rhine), meanwhile, did not exist as a nation at all. Various Teutonic tribes lay scattered across a vast wilderness that reached from present-day Holland to Poland. The Romans knew little of this densely forested territory governed by fiercely independent chieftains. They would pay dearly for their ignorance.
There are many reasons, according to ancient historians, that the imperial Roman legate Publius Quinctilius Varus set out so confidently that September in a.d. 9. He led an estimated 15,000 seasoned legionnaires from their summer quarters on the WeserRiver, in what is now northwestern Germany, west toward permanent bases near the Rhine. They were planning to investigate reports of an uprising among local tribes. Varus, 55, was linked by marriage to the imperial family and had served as Emperor Augustus' representative in the province of Syria (which included modern Lebanon and Israel), where he had quelled ethnic disturbances. To Augustus, he must have seemed just the man to bring Roman civilization to the barbarous" tribes of Germany.
Like his patrons in Rome, Varus thought occupying Germany would be easy. "Varus was a very good administrator, but he was not a soldier," says Benario. "To send him out into an unconquered land and tell him to make a province of it was a huge blunder on Augustus' part."
Rome's imperial future was by no means foreordained. At age 35, Augustus, the first emperor, still styled himself "first citizen" in deference to lingering democratic sensibilities of the fallen RomanRepublic, whose demise—after the assassination of Caesar—had brought him to power in 27 b.c., following a century of bloody civil wars. During Augustus' rule, Rome had grown into the largest city in the world, with a population that may have approached one million.

This battle is significant in many ways. An unconventional force destroyed the best and professional Roman Legionaries by adopting gurrellia warfare tactics. This will remain as magnificent feat of unconventional force 's achievement in the horizon of military history. If Roman would win this battle then we might not have witnessed the British kingdom as their forefather belongs to the Teutonic tribe.

Fascinating.I would like to know more about this subject.What reading can you recommend?The human saga is a never-ending source of interest.

Military biographies tend to be written by the same historic figures over and over again. There are dozens of books devoted to men like Julius Caesar, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, etc. There is a popular interest in such famous personalities, and there are ample resources on which a biographer can base his research. In Eager for Glory Lindsay Powell chronicles the life of an important Roman leader who has been unfairly neglected by history. Before his accidental death, Drusus the Elder was successfully conquering western Germany. He was stepson of Emperor Augustus, the brother of Emperor Tiberius, father of Emperor Claudius, grandfather of Emperor Caligula, and great-grandfather of Emperor Nero. Had he not died so young, his exploits and family connections would have commanded a prominent place in Roman and world history. Eager for Glory gathers the scattered evidence of Drusus' life and presents as near a complete story as can be told. The last person to write a biography of Drusus was the Emperor Augustus himself. Sadly, that text was lost to history. There is no surviving autobiography as Caesar has left us, nor are there full accounts written by ancient historians such as Plutarch or Tacitus. Yet, there are some short references to Drusus among ancient writings. Powell pieced these with his deep knowledge of the the Roman military, recent archaeology, and the general history surrounding Drusus' life. The gaps are filled with Powell's own intriguing theories. This was the Bellum Alpinum (aka Bellum Noricum) against the Raeti. I have seen this war briefly mentioned in other Roman military books, so I was very interested to read Powell's detailed account. Those readers unfamiliar with the Roman, Celtic, and German ways of war are supplied with backgrounds on the respective armor, weapons, equipment, tactics, etc. After the conquest of the Raetians, Drusus is rewarded with a governorship of Gaul.

Reality check: The Romans made many incursions into Germany after this. Recent discoveries abound. Also, Germanic us punished them severely and obtained two eagles and Arminius wife. Arminius later killed by the tribes out of fear. Rome went where they wanted in reality. Drusus even went further. Caesar easily crossed the Rhine and crushed many to near extension. The numerous Germanic fighter never realty could stand up the Romans in in battle. The Celts had a better chance in reality and tried. Celtic weaponry was actually superior to Roman. When Rome was in decline the Roman army was made up of mostly Germans and Celts, who just could not fight like the classical Roman soldier. Reading Caesars,Drusus and Germaincus accounts in reality the Germans did not put up much of a fight. Sometimes running up trees , drowning in rivers in retreat Plus, the Roman army in most battles were always outnumbered. Which usually did not matter. However, certain European writers just did not want to know the truth. Rome suffered more losses in the east part of the empire. Even Jewish rebellions caused much Ramon loss of life.

Arminius (Hermanus)(Hermann) was a Cheruski-Germanic by birth. He was a royal hostage (common practice at the time). According to the rules of the Roman Empire the royal hostages were given the same treatment as the Roman nobility. Hermann reached rank of Roman general. So it is not a supprise that he knew all about Roman army. Hermann was a true German patriot who gave up the luxury of being Roman citizen and returned to his Vaterland to help his people. The battle of Teutoburg forest set up the begining of the German national consciousness and national name "Deutsch" was pronunced as "Teusch" 2000 years ago and it was Germanic way to say Teuton. Every Germanic man who was proud of this battle and feel belonging to these people considered himself as "Teusch" (later "Deutsch").

There is one important point not mentioned in this excellent account of the Roman disaster. The vast area occupied by the Teutonic tribes at this time was different from other areas which the Romans sought to conquer - there were no significant towns or centres of population east of the Rhine. Nor were there any existing roads, and transport of men and materials into the interior by river was largely impossible - particular from the manin Roman bases.
Thus, Roman colonisation was always going to be enormously difficult and hugely expensive, with the ever-present risk of insurrection and guerrilla warfare necessitating an unsustainable level of military support.
It is, I believe, arguable that Roman policy towards 'Germania', in thee first century, would have changed into one very much like that under Tiberius and his successors, even without Teutoberg. Arminius's victory may have just accelerated this process.
Posted by John Parrish on November 3,2011 | 01:09 PM
I am facinated by the various accounts of the Teutoburg battle. How did Arminius organize such a force and strategy?
I think the Romans were led into an ambush and their officers were negligent. It's amazing to think that 15,000 to 20,000 "people" were strung out over such a distance in such a confined area. They were led into a topological trap and were not able to respond. To think that so many people were slaughtered in such a short period of time is overpowering. I do believe that this was an occurance that did infact change political, ethnic, cultural history. I don't think the Romans had their heart in conquering past the Rhine and took the local Germans lightly. But what might have been if this day in history had not occured.
Posted by Donald Richroath on September 27,2010 | 07:50 PM
What I am missing within this article is the the fact that arminius was taken to rome as a hostage when he was about ten years old to make shure his father would behave according to the will of the romans - he didn´t went to rome by his own will.In the story and in some of the comments I read that arminis was a traitor and he planned an infamous ambush.
It is told that Arminius was - after having been raised in Rome - was proud of beeing a roman citizen and a beeing made a roman knight but changed his mind after he returned to his homeland and saw how harshly Varus was ruling over the people he feeled were his tribesmen.
One should not forget that the romans had invaded the home of the german tribes and were trying to change it into a roman province which should pay taxes to rome.
To call Arminius a traitor would mean to call the "Boston tea party" an act of treason.

As I review the history of Roman campaigns of A.D. 14, 15, and 16 by Germanicus along the Ruhr, Lahm, and Ems Rivers,
whats painfully notable are the repeated defeats, ambuses,
forced withdrawls, and surprised attacks that this very
compitant and experienced commander continued to suffer while being on constant guard and very much aware of how dangerous was his situation and his enemy. He was not the fool, and yet he could not beat the thick forest that concealed the enemy, or the decisive skill and ability of what we must accept was a trully superior German commander, trained by the Romans, well practiced at war, and dedicated to a high purpose.

Many historians have addressed themselves to the reasons the Romans set their borders on the Rhine and Danube. The consensus of opinion is that it wasn't because they lacked the ability to make incursions east and north of the rivers, which they often did over the centuries after Varus's defeat, but because they couldn't support their forces logistically once they did and never had any intention in doing so. It also should be pointed out that after AD 9, the Romans experienced their greatest successes, in Britain, Parthia, etc. And, finally, I would like to offer this: The tribes who defeated Varus became Roman allies, Roman legionnaires, even Roman citizens over the coming centuries. Germany was not born by them -- it was by others.

A little battle in warfare history - a huge change in (european)history!
This varus defeat, formerly in Germany teached to haven taken place somewhere in 'Teutoburg'-forests or say better wood/swamp/flood-lands then, was de facto an ambush, as the roman empire experienced many of them over latter centuries. Experiences like that were quite common, and in these acient days this was about the maximum stage of expansion of a empire affordable by roman way of life!
So Arminius was lucky to set his counterstrike almost perfectly in terms of timeline: there was no furhter expansion, not in northern Europe - despite knowlegde of huge landscape toward and beyond Baltic sea, not in the South (northern Africa - e.g. no interest of the origin of river Nile!)
After this varus debacle policy toward outer rims seemed to have changed radically: in northern Germany it caused a retreat westbound of river Rhine, in southern Germany a retreat southbound of river Danube, and in open flank between this natural borderlines, an artificial border - the limes!
It could be interpreted in a way this quite infamous ambush affected whole life, culture, a significant change of self-assessment of northern tribes, a first augury how the decline of this invincible empire would likely take place!

I was riding my bike with a friend today, a student of German history and an ardent Germanophile, and somehow in our meanderings the subject of this battle came up. I said to him that I thought it was, of course, a great defeat for the Romans, but that the lessons drawn from it were often wrong. First, as the above article's title states, the victory was the result of an ambush orchestrated by a trusted Roman ally, Arminius, so what happened wasn't exactly fair. Second, the Romans' response in the years afterward reclaimed their honor, and their reputation, and essentially ended serious threats from east of the Rhine.(Read Mommsen, the great German historian; read the wiki entry on the battle, too -- I thought it was very good.) And third is what this defeat says about the Romans throughout their illustrious 1000-year history -- they always came back, until they couldn't. That wouldn't happen until 400 years after this battle occurred.

Being an old soldier myself I can say that discipline comes from above. During three wars I have seen some of the most disciplined troops take the easy way of doing things, things that they knew better than to do, short cuts ect. They took these "short cuts" only when they allowed by their leadership.
Althought these Roman troops were highly disciplined, it was their leadership which put them in the position that they found themselves. One must wonder, did a centurion go forward to express his concerns? Varus was a politician not a warrior. One would think that Augustus would know better than to do this. But in his defense, look how we fight wars today. Battle hardened generals are often dictated to by his countries politicans.
Posted by Kenneth Chambless on April 15,2009 | 06:31 PM
Varus must have been overconfident, out of his league as a commander and thinking he was up against a motley group of disorganized tribes. Underestimating your enemies ability and overestimating your own capabilities usually leads to disaster and defeat. Great article, I'd love to go visit the site in Europe. I've often wondered where the battle took place.

The telephone is one of the most important inventions in human history. It has allowed people to communicate with each other in real-time other over vast distances. Both landline telephones and cellular phones are used by billions of people every day around the planet. However, before someone can use a telephone, he must first sign up for telephone service. Phone service can be quite costly depending on the terms of the service contract and the number of calls made per month. Most telephone service providers, including landline service companies, require their customers to buy a phone as a part of the service contract.
However, an alternative to regular phone service is available called Voice over IP (VoIP) that offers comparable features of regular phone service including a fax number at a lower cost. VoIP is a set of communication protocols and transmission technologies that enables voice communication over the Internet. Therefore, if you have Internet access, you can use VoIP service to talk to other people with your computer. The service requires the speed of a broadband Internet connection to work effectively.
VoIP service does not require a telephone like regular phone service, you can use your computer's microphone and speakers. A VoIP user can make calls to a landline phone, cellular phone or another VoIP user. Many VoIP providers allow users to call each other for free, regardless of their geographic location. Additionally, the fee charged for calling long distance numbers or other countries is considerably lower than a traditional phone service. Unlike regular phone service, VoIP also has a number of extra features that are provided at no extra charge, such as caller ID, call waiting, conference calling and voicemail. These services can incur an extra charge at a regular service provider.
Because VoIP service is an Internet-related service, anyone who calls a VoIP number is not charged a long distance rate if the number is a local number, despite the geographic location of the person who has the service. Signing up for VoIP service is a comparable alternative to regular phone service which can save you money.

Did You Know?
MS is a Disease that affects the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and optic nerves).
In MS, the insulation covering the nerves (called Myelin) is damaged.
MS is not a contagious disease.
The only individuals with a significant increased risk of getting ms due to genetic factors are identical twins.
Symptoms of MS differ from person to person, depending on where the myelin is damaged.
An exacerbation is a period when a person with MS experiences new or worsening symptoms.
It is important to continue medication even when you feel fine because MS can still be active and changes may be occuring in the central nervous system.
Treatments for MS are designed to reduce relapses, slow progression, and reduce disability.
Most treatments for MS focus on treating symptoms.
Interferons are naturally occuring proteins in the body that help to fight inflammation.
Artificially produced interferons to treat MS include the medications Avonex, Betaseron and Rebif.
Corticosteroids are sometimes used to treat relapses in MS.
Side effects of steroids may include increased appetite and sleep problems.
Women with MS and without MS experience similar pregnancy outcomes.
Pregnancy doesn't appear to affect the long-term clinical course of MS.
MS emotional changes may include depression and mood swings.
A low-fat, high fiber diet can increase overall health.

In 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head. Carson pioneered again in a rare procedure known as a hemispherectomy, giving children without hope a second chance at life through a daring operation in which he literally removes one half of their brain.
Such breakthroughs aren't unusual for Ben Carson. He's been beating the odds since he was a child.
Raised in inner-city Detroit by a mother with a third grade education, Ben lacked motivation. He had terrible grades. And a pathological temper threatened to put him in jail.
But Sonya Carson convinced her son he could make something of his life, even though everything around him said otherwise. Trust in God, a relentless belief in his own capabilities, and sheer determination catapulted Ben from failing grades to the directorship of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
Gifted Hands takes you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world---and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others.

Hi everyone,
I want to insert a reporter (red fluorescent protein) into the genome of P. aeruginosa to study the activity of a certain promoter. I was wondering if there was a method of making a specific insertion into the genomic DNA of a bacterium; if so, please let me know about it. Any suggestions or articles welcome.
Thank You!

PETER Butler is going nowhere.
The Terengganu coach, who began his six-month suspension yesterday, said he was not taking any action, at least not at this time.
The 46-year-old Englishman said he only knew about his suspension, RM4,000 fine and 15 per cent pay cut on his next month's salary from newspaper reports.
"I have yet to receive any official correspondence from the Terengganu FA and until then, I will not be able to do much.
"But even when I receive everything in writing from the association, I reckon I will still be here," he said.
The coach said some people might be hoping that he would be unhappy enough with the punishment and just pack up and leave.
"That is not me as I am a man of principle and I have approached every job the same way, wearing my heart on my sleeve.
"I am also committed to what I do and I love coaching but there is no half measure as we either do it the right way or not at all."
Butler, who still has 15 months left on his contract, said he will respect the decisions made by the association.
"Of course I will have no choice but to talk to my lawyers when I receive all the papers but that does not mean I am leaving Terengganu.
"I came here to do a job and I will not leave until I finish what I came here to do," said Butler, who admitted that everything he had done since his arrival in May was for the good of Terengganu football.

On March 7, 2012, the Indian River County Sheriff's Office held its 18th Annual Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches Barbeque. Residents and visitors of Indian River County enjoyed delicious food, entertainment, law enforcement and vendor displays, K-9 demonstrations, SWAT & CERT simulations, and tours of the jail and 911 Center.
The event is made possible through the support of generous citizens, members of our business community and major sponsors such as Publix Super Markets Charities, George E. Warren Corporation, Children's Cancer Cooperative, Aramark, Dyer Family Foundation, and GTL as well as the hard work of many friends, volunteers and employees of the Sheriff's Office. This year's event raised $48,000 for the Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches that will directly benefit Indian River County boys and girls!

Broke after 2 weeksPros: See my previous review Cons: Sure enough, it broke right where I expected it would, near a corner. The design of these polycarbonate back covers puts too much tension in the corners for the material. Not that the designers have a whole lot of alternative options, but unfortunately this design is very prone to breaking with normal use. Did you find this review helpful? |
Ok product, incomplete description and potentially misleading photosPros: Light, good grip, perfect fit. Color doesn't match perfectly with Apple's Smart Cover, but it should be more than close enough for most people. Cons: Design wraps around the Smart Cover magnetic bar, forcing you to remove the back cover in order to remove the Smart Cover. Not a problem if you never take of the Smart Cover, kind of annoying if you take it off and on all the time. Even more so if you would use it with the back cover on. Other Thoughts: Does not include the Smart Cover, as mentioned in another review. The description makes no mention of it, but the pictures could lead less informed people that some kind of roll-up front cover was included. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Good fit Cons: Not what it appeared to be. Based on the description and the pictures, this appeared to have a front and back. This is only the back. It is designed to work with the magnetic tri fold cover. When you get the product your disappointed to find the front cover isn't included. They tell you the iPad isn't included but they conveniently leave out that the Apple Smart Cover isn't included even though all the pictures show it with the screen cover. Don't be fooled. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Music tech festival 2013 next to 02 17-19 May 2013
Music technology at Ravensbourne Music festival
with Technology Strategy Board support.
The 'Music Labels Tour 2013' will give up to six UK-based digital start-ups the chance to meet with all four major music labels and leading independent Beggars Group. Additionally, companies will get to present at Music Tech Fest.
The meetings with Beggars Group, EMI Music, Sony Music, Universal Music and Warner Music will provide the selected companies with the opportunity to pitch their applications and services to a range of relevant executives within the marketing, digital and business development teams.
Well, in joining such elite musicians, I'm not really in the correct league - perhaps more Conference than Premier, but I played up to 6 times per week for evangelical churches for about 20 years, and played frequently in less salubrious establishments. I still have piano (Yamaha CVP 400 series), and a Wyvern 282B full pedalboard organ in the house with traditional, continental, theatre and piano/harpsichord facilities. The piano accordion isn't much played these days. I'll leave it to Clive Harries to add more info, but he, Chair of RSA Yorks, (and a REAL professional musician) has a burning desire to set up a mentoring project for young musicians, especially those who are prevented from pursuing their passion for financial reasons. We already held the first meeting in York, which was attended by the great and the good from the world of music, and Clive realised what a world of support there would be for his mentoring project. One young musician all but reduced the audience to tears with the power of his vioing playing - the youngest musian ever to make the Young Musician's Orchestra. JAS is more than interested - in my view, this will be a massive, almost certainly international project, or nothing, and both Clive and I will not allow it to be the latter. There are issues. Already it is clear that many professional musicians see mentoring as just advanced training, whereas in practice, it is about whole life guidance through to high level success. It is a long term commitment. And even includes counselling the young musician out of pursuing a high level career in music if their talent falls short - yes, it can even be tough love. The RSA has perhaps been a little short in fulfilling its "encouragement of Arts ... " in recent times, and here will be a first class opportunity to redress the balance. As a Board trustee, I really want to see Clive's initiative succeed. I think this meets at least the last two bullet points of Francis's starter for ten. Does this ring bells with you and will you be able to lend your support?
Recently the RSAde Group reviewed and consolidated various social networks. Each RSA region now has a dedicated space with an aim of improving communication and reducing fragmentation.

We really enjoyed our stay. We upgraded to a lake view room and it had a beautiful view. We loved that we could fix our own dinner on the big barbecue... grills. The Lodge is so clean and well kept. We met the owner and his daughter and they were both so nice and welcoming. There was free wi fi , great TV channels and a good breakfast. Really beautiful place and we will definitely go back there. 작성일: 2013.11.05, 작성자: CaroleSacramento의

If this means we have to have an amendment to the constitution so be it.
I think we can both agree that things have gotten out of hand as of late.
Yes, I gave up TV during the campaigns. My blood pressure could deal with it.

Whenever I play a song in Virtual DJ, it instantly gives me the key. How does this work? How are major or minors handled? Is there an analysis of the most common notes that is broken down to figure out what's most prominent?
Take the tour
Audio-Video Production Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of audio, video, and media creation. It's 100% free, no registration required.
This is not authoritative at all but here is my best guess. It does a simple frequency analysis to see what notes are present. Each key as 7 notes that can be present and 5 that cannot. As soon as it detects a note that is not in a key, it can rule that key out. Then, the keys of C and A minor (for example) have the same notes so the answer it has so far is ambiguous. It then sees whether the piece contains more Cs or As to pick between the two. If this answer is totally out to lunch please feel free to correct it. | |||

Mona and I enjoyed our 7 day cruise in the southern Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico – lots of sun, sand and good food! Of course, we were scheduled for a 10-day cruise, but an aircraft brake light glitch at the Raleigh-Durham airport resulted in us spending a couple days in Fort Lauderdale and one in Aruba waiting for "our ship to come in!" Turns out, we didn't miss much of the cruise besides two days tossing about among a bunch of seasick tourists as the ship bounced through some rough seas. One person we later met on the boat said that at one point the ship's swimming pool tossed a big wave out of the pool so high it extinguished the flame in the barbecue grill on the pool deck! We were relaxing in a seaside restaurant in Aruba when that happened. We boarded the ship Monday afternoon, Jan. 7.
Next day we spent a few hours exploring some of the shops and the open air market on Curacao. Then it was a couple days at sea until we arrived at the Panama Canal's northern end at the city of Colon. (The canal runs north and south). Colon has a huge port facility with numerous huge cranes and a dozen or more cargo ships waiting entry into either the port or the canal. We were told that the Canal operates on a tight time schedule, and ships must wait their turn and enter at their appointed time or be required to await the next open time in the flow of ships. Our cruise line (Holland America) pays an extra fee ($35,000 plus the regular transit fee to traverse the canal locks at its desired time). In our case, we traveled only through the first set of locks and entered Gatun Lake about two hours after passing by Colon. Gatun Lake is a man made lake designed by the Army Corps of Engineers when they built the canal to provide water to operate the locks. There is no shortage of water because the area receives an average of more than 250 inches of rain per year!
Our ship anchored in the lake to let passengers go ashore to enjoy shore excursions while the ship returned through the locks to the city of Colon. There were fewer passengers aboard our cruise ship during the return passage through the locks, so we had a much better view of this engineering marvel. We had a couple of hours ashore in Colon, awaiting the return of passengers who had taken excursions. The only thing I purchased there was a panama hat and a ceramic mug with a colorful outline of the Panama Canal.
Next day we arrived in Costa Rica, where we took an interesting shore excursion. This side trip took us on a boat ride in a canal for a close-up look at the birds, animals and foliage of this tropical paradise. Our tour guide proudly informed us that we were unusually lucky to see examples of all three species of monkeys that inhabit Costa Rica, howler monkeys, spider monkeys and white faced monkeys. We also rode an ancient train with wooden bench seats, open air windows and an inoperative toilet, enroute to a Del Monte banana plantation, where we watched the sorting, cleaning and packing of the green fruit. The huge stalks of bananas are brought from the banana groves to the packaging plant by runners who each pull strings of 5 stocks of bananas suspended below a narrow track from the fields to the packing plant. Our tour guide told us each stalk of bananas weighs about 50 to 75 pounds and that the "runners" are the highest paid workers employed there. Because of the annual 20 feet of rainfall, the banana fields have deep ditches running beside every second row of banana bushes for drainage, making mechanized harvesting impractical.
It was a two days and nights sail from Costa Rica back to Fort Lauderdale. We enjoyed the 24-hour availability of great food, the evening entertainment shows, the casino, and various facilities, including pool, spa, beauty shop, exercise equipment and numerous bars as well as classes for all sorts of activities and sunshine almost every day.
Upon docking at the Ft. Lauderdale pier at 7 a.m., we stood in lines and hurried through customs, suffering numerous delays, fearing that we would miss our 10:30 a.m. flight departure from Ft. Lauderdale Airport, but good luck prevailed, and we arrived home at about 7:30 p.m. Monday evening, Jan. 14.

Great sushi, especially the sashimi. The mussels are a must. Service is perfect, thanx Christopher If we make it back to page, we´ll come again for sure
I'm traveling around California, Arizona and Utah. I found this sushi place during a random walk around Page and it was quite a relief from burgers and pizzas. If you are staying the night at Page I recommend you step by and have some of their special sushi combinations.
The sushi was not exceptional, in fact we did not quite finish (unusual for this family!). The decor was below average with some strange seating areas which included red lights and grease hoods still overhead. Oh, and they did not carry Plum wine...sacrilege! If you are dying for sushi, ok. Otherwise you might try other fare elsewhere.
I have been here a lot. Good, fresh sushi, reasonable prices. There are other things on the menu that are wonderful that aren't sushi. Good beer and wine selection as well. Its very out of place in a town like Page, which makes it unique and awesome.
I'm never disappointed in the ambience, the quality of the fish, the friendliness of the service, or the great prices. A true gem in an area hardly known for culinary sophistication.
we heard about this place from friends and stopped in for happy hour. What a deal. beer was $2, up to 3 rolls under $8 half price. service was great. ambiance a refreshing change.
After the disappointment of Sakura in Flagstaff, this showed us that the US can do sushi/sashimi well and serve other dishes at the same time.

The Canton City Council on Wednesday agreed to draft a letter to the Cherokee County government, asserting it plans to stick with the previously agreed upon price for the proposed Etowah River Park and the ball fields adjacent to Kenny Askew Park.
Councilman John Beresford arranged for the council to conduct a called meeting to review new information he'd been given in a meeting last week with county officials. Beresford said he'd been told by the county that the price of both parks increased and the city would have to fork over an additional $700,000 from $1 million it planned to use for extras.
The council and the commission originally agreed that the passive Etowah River Park would cost around $2.1 million and the baseball complex would cost about $2.7 million.
Beresford said the Etowah Park is now slated to cost about $2.3 million and the ball fields are to cost about $3.2 million.
Beresford on Thursday said the increased dollar amount was "casually" mentioned last week as the meeting with the county was wrapping up. He noted he hoped the city's stance won't slow down the parks' development.
"The process has taken so long that I hope we do not have any delays," he said in an interview Thursday. "Hopefully we can work this through and get projects shovel ready. I look forward with working with the county to make that happen."
County Manager Jerry Cooper would not comment on the city's plans to write a letter, but did say costs of projects are liable to fluctuate during the design process.
"As with any project, the goal is to ensure that project costs do not exceed budget," he added.
Design work for the baseball complex calls for four fields, a 1,200-square-foot concessions area and restroom building, 240 paved parking spaces, bleachers, benches and trash receptacles, a free-standing scoring stand at each field, chain-link dugouts and tournament-level sports field lighting.
The Etowah River Park, which will mostly be passive features, would include a half-mile American Disabilities Act-accessible concrete walking path around multi-purpose fields, one 1,100-square-foot concessions and restrooms building, 207 paved parking spaces, ADA-accessible concrete walking paths and sidewalks connecting to an event lawn and to the concession building.
That park is slated to be developed at the end of Brown Industrial Parkway off Highway 20, near exit 19 off Interstate 575.
The city also had $1 million set aside it could use to add extras such as a bridge over the river, an amphitheater at the Etowah park and playground equipment.
Funds from the $90 million Cherokee County parks bond will pay for the project.
Council members last year decided to halt plans to move forward after the roughly $7 million price tag did not yield what they initially thought would be included in the park.
City leaders also indicated the land was located in a floodplain and flood way, making it an undesirable location for baseball and softball fields.
Cherokee County then stepped forward and offered a proposal to build the baseball fields on roughly 50 acres of land adjacent to Kenny Askew Park off Univeter Road instead.
The council in February signed off on the plan.
Councilman Bob Rush said on Thursday he "shouldn't be surprised" by the new numbers presented to his colleague.
Rush added he felt the city is getting "shortchanged" when the whole issue was to build a park for the city of Canton.
He added the city felt it was "beneficial" to relocate the ball fields from the passive park to the site off Univeter Road, but he added he feels the ball fields project is " taking precedent" over the entire project.
"That disturbs me because the whole idea was for all the parks to be for the city of Canton and not just baseball fields for (Canton) Dizzy Dean," he added. "I feel we are paying for the park bond just like everyone else and I think we should get our (fair) share."
Councilman Bill Bryan added he feels "disappointed" the cost has increased, and noted he felt the city should push for the development of the Etowah park and allow the county to take the lead in the development of the baseball fields.
He added the county "does an excellent job" with maintaining parks as they have the additional staff.
He also said he appreciates Beresford's "leadership" on spearheading the effort to get the parks set in stone.
Mayor Gene Hobgood said he supports the council's decision to draft the letter. Hobgood did note he believed the county would work with the city.
"I think the county will work with us and make the adjustments needed to ensure that both parks will meet some of our recreation needs," he said.
