Italy: Salerno Day 1

We left Rome and headed way South to Salerno. After dropping our stuff off and heading out for food and a little walk around the town, we headed South again to the ancient site of Paestum. This was an ancient city that still has a lot of remains. It is most famous for its three large temples which date from 600-450 BCE. There is also a museum at the site.
The train we took from Rome to Salerno. It was pretty nice.
