Thoughts on Paestum

When we got off the train in Paestum, I told Denise, ‘you are hell and gone from Cartagena’, a quote from the movie ‘Romancing the Stone’. We had just traveled for over 2 hours and got off the train in some deserted location in southern Italy because we read about Greek ruins from 500 BC. It sometimes makes me think we are pushing our luck a little. But a 10 minute walk in the right direction gets you to a small site with 3 big Greek temples, among Roman ruins. The only really impressive stuff here are the Greek temples.
