On my free day, some friends and I took a train to Tivoli to see Hadrian's Villa. Wow, what a beautiful place, Tivoli. Even if we had not made it to Hadrian's Villa, I could not call the trip a failure. I learned so much more about ancient and modern Roman life being away from the big city and tourist sections. Even Hadrian's Villa was not that occupied with tourists. Hadrian, I must say, knew how to live...and build. His villa, covering more than 300 acres, sat beautifully in the foothills of the mountains. what a tranquil place. Someday, I will go back and spend much more time there.
