We went to Museo Nazionale and got to see many awesome sculptures. The highlight was seeing Boxer at Rest, a really cool bronze sculpture. It was really cool to see it up close, a couple of us got a little to close and we set off a motion sensor. No body came running so it probable happens all the time. The rest of the museum was kind of blah, a lot of busts of people.
Ostia Antica was a really cool ancient Roman town that was a major port back in the day. It was really cool to be able to walk on the ruins. The bath’s of Neptune were really cool because the mosaics on the floors were still there like they were finished yesterday.
This is Misha, he welcomed us to his town.
Wagon ruts still visible on the road in the ancient ruins.
beautiful mosaics in The Baths of Neptune
Mosaics in front of some shops. I think that this shop dealt with some kind of shipping.
not sure what this shop was, but it was cool.
Nate reading Marcus Aurelius at the amphitheater. It was awesome to hear how clear his voice was. Then a rude French tour guide shooed him off the stage.
BEAUTIFUL view out of Alexander Helix’s house.
a gigantic Aloe Vera plant and it’s friend.
Until my next post. Arrevaderci!
