My wife and I have taken some awesome vacations, including a wonderful trip to Italy! This was in 2017, so this episode is not a very far throwback, although…
The content in this image goes back much further in time…
For the first part of our trip, we stayed in Ostia Antica, the original port town of Rome. We figured correctly that staying outside of Rome was a much better driving option than in the eternal city.
A key bonus was the excavations of ancient Ostia Antica (Parco Acheologico di Ostia Antica). This is an amazing site that provides hours of wandering back in time. Walking through each neighborhood of the old harbor city, one gets a real sense of what life was like. The photo is of statue in the House of Cupid and Psyche, a loving embrace across the ages.
And, yes, we also visited Rome, taking the train from Ostia Antica, which made for a wonderful way to get into the city.
