Today we went to the Naples museum in the morning and Cumae
in the afternoon. After the
initial setback of not being able to bring our bags into the museum, we had a
lot of fun seeing all of the incredible classical art housed there. There were statues, mosaics, and even a
section of ancient erotic art.
After the museum we ate pizza at Pizza Decumani. Now, this wasn’t just any pizza, this
was like the Mount Vesuvius of pizza; it was an explosively delicious ending to
our Italian dining experience.
Full from this delicious meal, we boarded the bus and headed off to our final
site-seeing destination, Cumae, where the notorious cave of the Sybil was
located in antiquity. There we
read some Vergil, which described the very spot on which we were standing. We later found out that this was also
the very place where Jason and Mr. McDougal conceived the idea for this
trip. We ended the trip at the top
of a hill overlooking the ocean, where we recounted all of the great memories
that we made over the course of our magical journey through time.
