| Temple of Athena at Paestum |
I've wanted to go to Greece for a while, but Joe keeps saying no. Something about political unrest and concerns over protests. We'll table it for now. But, there are some Greek ruins in Italy, in a region called Magna Graecia. This region was colonized by Greek settlers in 8th and 7th centuries BC.

| The swimming pool maze. |
We visited the Paestum ruins about an hour south of Salerno. It was much cleaner in this area and quieter. It was very peaceful strolling amongst the ruins. There are 3 stunning temples that are from the 6th century BC. I find it amazing that they are still standing. There is also an unusual pool that was used for training the soldiers. It has a maze! Talk about a drowning risk! It’s a close as I’m going to Greece for now, and as far as I know, it’s a great substitute.
