As Helios, the sun god, drove his chariot across the infinite heavens, we again ventured on our cosmic journey to Paestum where we set our gaze upon a trio of sybaritic, colossal, Hellenistic temples. We divided and conquered our grumbling stomachs with a vast array of edibles. With full bellies and tired limbs, we reboarded the bus and headed for the illustrious city of Naples. As our bus driver elegantly wove his way through the labrynth of tumultuous traffic, we anticipated our long-awaited arrival at the National Archaeological Museum. There we took our fill of mammoth statues, intricate mosaics and myriad artifacts. We are now back at the villa enjoying some well-deserved relaxation before another home-cooked dinner of the finest Italian cuisine. Stay tuned for a continuation of the epic tomorrow after we cross the wine-colored sea to Capri.

We at home will be as sorry for your epic to end as you no doubt will be for your trip to end.

Enjoying the greek-inspired adjectives to paint a picture; quite the blog post!
Were you getting to converse with locals in their language much? Are you finding that you can guess what most signage means and understand enough language to get by,say for Italian from knowing Latin?
