So I am at the commissary in Naples meandering down the sporting goods aisle when I look down through a glass floor and see an ancient Roman well below me. . oh and some random pottery. Apparently the base was built on an important Roman crossroad and this is how they decided to preserve the relics. But this is Italy everywhere you look there is random statues, fountains (which still bring water down the same aqueduct system they have been using for centuries) and amazing pieces of history. It is still hard for me to grasp how old this place is! . . . until I try to use the internet :)
