308_Paestum

Paestum. Our second stop on the way to the Amalfi coast was the old Greek settlement (that's right, Greek) of Paestum.
This place had ruins in better shape than most of the stuff in Greece. The area apparently got swampy and filled with
mosquitos (malaria), so folks stayed away for a long time. This is one of the three large temples.
