I remember when we got a walking tour in Rome where everyone else canceled, so it was just us.
We spent the day seeing incredible sights, too many to list, and at one point the guide told us he was about to show my wife the best part. Then he took us into what looked like a high-end department store, Gucci and all the usual names. Not exactly what I had in mind.
Then it got interesting. He led us down to the lower level, where things were more practical, almost IKEA-like, and there was a small café.
And right there, in the basement, was a preserved section of an ancient aqueduct, still in use, he said, just sitting beneath the store.
You’re not at street level anymore. Such a unique rome experience.

It is something to be in the midst of the modern world. Then there's a 2,000-year-old road or aqueduct. In the US, 150 years is 'old.'
