Mausoleum of Galla Placidia - Oldest Mosaics in the world

Inside the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia are some of the oldest best preserved mosaics in the world dating back to 5th century. On the right you see the starry sky and the left you see the mosaic called "Garden of Eden". For me, it had the "wow" factor of being in the ancient Egyptian tombs. It has been my favorite on the trip so far.

  • Like nearly everywhere I've visited this summer - the Dutch seem to dislike Trump as well. Earlier I over heard a conversation between an American republican and a Dutchman - the Dutchman kindly said to her "it's hard to vote for a man like that."

  • Last time I was in Rome the Trevi was under construction. I still threw a coin in it anyway after it ricocheted off the plastic wall the first time. This time it was much easier tossing coins.
