AAR CSS: Day 10

Double digits!

We were originally supposed to go to Cosa today, but instead we went to Vulci, another Etruscan town. It involved quite a bit of hiking.

The most boring triumphal arch ever:


Cat alert:


In the cryptoporticus ("hidden portico", a system of underground hallways) of a giant house:


Coffered ceilings (still underground):


Another Mithraeum (with re-enactors! members of the cult of Mithras were all male):


Another re-enactment, this time with crosswalk boulders:


A little translation trouble?


Inside the François Tomb:


A giant statue of a kantharos (wine vessel) at a rotary/roundabout/traffic circle:


The beach at Tarquinia:


Bus driver: Carlo (Fabio's brother - they have a family run bus business)

Dinner: Spaghetti alla carbonara | Ovoline e prosciutto e pomodoro | Profitterol (hand-made!)
