The Aqueduct

The family I am living with lives almost right next to the Roman aqueduct. Of course it is amazing to see something still functioning and in such amazing condition after nearly 2000 years. Furthermore, as I travel through the city it is possible to see other examples of the aqueduct. As I was running along a ditch or canal I saw several places which appeared to be fountains for the water in various places throughout the city. Last year I was able to see the Roman Baths in Bath, England. The experience of seeing this as well, from the same time period, speaks volumes of the success of the Romans!
On a lighter note... the aqueduct has also served as a great point of reference so that I can find my way through the city. I have been surprised also with the ease in which I have learned my way through the city and its tiny streets. Having such an iconic starting point has definitely been a help.
