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. A post shared by Amanda H (@ahochsta) on Jul 19, 2015 at 12:30am PDT

The Marble in this old Byzantine church in Ravenna, Italy reminded me of the marble at the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. I wondered how far the marble had to travel. A post shared by Amanda H (@ahochsta) on Jul 19, 2015 at 12:17am PDT
