Ostia

Today was a much better day than yesterday. Today was actually really, really awesome. The class went to Ostia, a city that lies in ruins. I learned how the ancient people lived, how they dealt with commerce, I saw the schools they attended, where they bought bread and fish, and where they went for entertainment. The city although in ruins, was perfect in its own way. Unfortunately I forgot to put the memory card back into my camera, so I don't really have pictures. But I do have memories and Google images. Haha. It doesn't stop to amaze me how humanity has always been the same. There is really nothing new under the son. A child is born, grows into youth, develops maturity, finds meaning, and the cycle once again repeats itself. 3000 years ago, and 2012 is not much different. The only difference are the tools that we use today, the material. But music still exists, performances have been happening for a long time, fathers work hard to provide a better life for their families, and those who believe, worship. Yeah, nothing much has changed. But maybe now we just have ipods and internet. But that's about it. It's been a long journey, and Ostia was the perfect way to end the Layers of Rome.
