Paestum

We left Laino Borgo in the morning. We drove up a lot of very windy roads and we weren't too comfortable. We got to Paestum at about lunchtime. Before we got there, we stopped at a place to get lunch for a picnic. We got some roast chicken, bread, and a few other things for lunch. Then we drove onto Paestum. Paestum is an archealogical site that is in between Reggio Calabria and Pompeii. We had the roast chicken which was delicious on the site, under a tree, looking at the Temple of Neptune.

Rogan, me and our Dad walked around after we had lunch. We saw more temples and the ruins of very old houses. There were some very pretty mosiacs and frescos on the houses, but there were no roofs on them, only the walls and the floors. There were very big villas that were huge. We saw a bath complex that was heated in the underneath of it. They kept the fire going, and put a floor on top of that to heat the water. We also saw a very small Odeon, which is small amphitheater. Then we went to a museum which had pots and things like that which were very cool.

Our mom drew pictures of the Temple of Neptune.
