A place to Sneak a Kiss

Ostia Antica--
Located 20 minutes by train southwest of Rome, Ostia Antica is a marvelous amalgamation of ancient Roman ruins. During its heyday around...well lets just say 5 BC...it was the primary port for Rome. Amazingly enough the frescos still retain their color and many finely crafted sculptures can be see throughout. The weather was warm and sunny, optimal for a day of sketching and painting. The maze-like layout of Ostia makes this an ideal place to sneak away with a lover and burn an entire day in each others' embrace...not that his happened, but you think about a lot when you are waiting for your watercolors to dry. Definitely worth a return visit hopefully with a beautiful woman.
