A random excavation of Roman baths off the side of the road! There is so much detail to look at everywhere, we definitely needed more than a few days!

I've never been there. Thanks for sharing the photos. I'm not sure about my favorite greek myth, but I'd probably go with some of the stories of the constellations (Orion and the Scorpion, or the saving of Andromeda)

What a wonderful trip! Glad the wildfires did not interrupt your travels.

Thank you both!

Ooh, the constellations! It's been ages since I read those stories, I should reread them!
