One day we decided to go walk a portion of the Appian Way to see what the ancient roman roads were like. Once there, we realized there were ruins in various states still preserved along the trail. Needless to say, we did a lot of walking that day, but we enjoyed it much more than we'd thought we would. I consider that a win.
So we plotted a course to the Appia Antica Park, where we saw a few cool things.
Turns out, that park isn't where the Appian Way starts. In fact, it is a couple of miles from it. sigh. Sometimes being dumb bites you in the arse. So we walked a while, hoping we were going the right way toward our destination and eventually found where we should have gotten off the bus to avoid unnecessary wandering.
Ah, yes, this is starting to look right.
Crypts along the Appian Way seem to be popular, often containing multiple family members together for eternity.
And, of course, no walk would be complete without Melissa taking some pictures of the local flora and fauna.
