The Italian city of Paestum is beautiful.  In an eerie, peaceful kind of way.  It’s home to an ancient site.  The greatest number of Greek temples outside of Greece.  It’s stunning.

Temple of Neptune, Paestum, Italy

The ancient city is quiet (mosquitos killed everyone off like a zillion years ago), and really, really beautiful.

Pizzerias, gelato shops and vendor stalls fill the main street, and the museum plays host to an ancient Greek tomb painting.  The painting shows a diver, mid leap as he moves from the physical world into the afterlife.  Plunging fearlessly and gracefully.  Beautiful.  Awesome.
