Weekend on our own

It was nice to have this weekend off to explore on our own. Saturday Erika and I went to Santuario di Bonaria and passed the cemetery. That area was beautiful and I look forward to visiting the cemetery when it's open. This was the first church I have visited here and it was pretty incredible. Even the outside steps leading up to the church were gorgeous.

Sunday a group of us went to visit the town Pula and Nora, the oldest ruins in Sardegna. We came up upon the beach and could see the tower and decided we would do a tour. Once the tour started we saw the ruins were much larger ten you could see originally. Our tour guide said 8,000 people had lived there. We saw a small theater and she said 1000 people used to sit there, it's incredible! There were three layers of society built upon one another. Roman on top of Punic on top of  Phoenician buildings. It was cool to see Roman baths! The mosaics were beautiful as well. We enjoyed seeing and hearing about Roman engineering.  We climbed up the tower at the end and could see all the ruins and the beach on the strait.
