Country retreats of Roman Emporers

I read an interesting article in "Smithsonian" about the country villa retreats of the Roman Emperors. The Villa Magna of Marcus Aurelius is located in the Valle del Secco in Lazio, south of the town of Anagni looked very interesting. I definitely want to see it. Another is Emperor Hadrian's Villa Adriana by the city of Tivoli about 30 km from Rome.Villa Adriana (Tivoli) - UNESCO World Heritage Centre.

"I have been things and seen places"

Going to change some direction. I will still discuss my philosophies but I am going to look for travel ideas, undiscovered places or places I want to see. As Mae West responded to someone saying "I have been places and seen things", "I have been things and seen places, that makes us about even."
