Pompeii


Pompeii was amazing (history of the site here). It is interesting to see the scale of the site that was buried in ash 2000 years ago when Vesuvius erupted. It was a decent sized city. It is amazing how well some things were preserved. Many of the buildings are nearly intact. Some of the mosaics and frescoes from the wall were well preserved as well. It was cool just to wander around. I took a lot of pictures.
