Oasis number 2, and Case Romane






We were on our way to Case Romane and I got lost again, we took 3 wrong buses, I finally asked the bus driver and he made a special stop for us and plopped us off on a random street (probably to just get rid of us) so we started walking around and ran into our Oasis number 2!  you can see from the pictures how gorgeous this is. We met an Italian boy here, when I wasn't  looking he came up behind me and whispered in my ear in a deep voice with an italian accent "you are very beautiful".   Thanks to him we realized we were really close to our destination of Case Romane, this place was so interesting.  Recent excavations within the last hundred years revealed 1st century AD roman houses that still have wall frescoes.  We went deep into the earth and walked through Roman houses and streets that were walked almost 2000 years ago.  They have not been modified at all, it was so awesome!   We were seeing what Rome was really like when it ruled the Earth.  You werent allowed to take pictures here either so I had to sneak one. You can see some oil lamps that they found from 2000 years ago as well, like the ones the ten virgins used.
