I started off the day at the Museum of Roman Civilization. That museum is supposed to have a huge model of the city when it was near the peak of the Roman Empire, but that area was closed off today. Then I stopped at a church called San Paolo fuori le Mura. Later, I tried to find and walk an ancient Roman road called Via Appia. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a map of that area. I got close but didn’t find it. Instead, I came across a huge aqueduct and walked along that for a while.
In the afternoon I got on the train from Rome to Naples. Then I got checked into the hostel and that’s where I am now.
As for the weather, it has been clear skies and sunny for the past week or so. Temperatures have been in the lower 80’s for highs. So it has been really hot in the sun and I think that is above normal for this time of year. Today was the first day with some clouds and a little cooler. Now for gas prices, it looks like the going rate is 1.30€/l. If I calculated correctly, that is $6.70/Gal.
