Pompeii

The ruins of Pompeii.

Some cute tourist.....

The painted rooms were spectacular!

The Romans had marble kitchen counter tops 2,000 years ago.

The 'Garden of Fugitives'.

The 'Temple of Isis'.

Pompeii's 'Forum' with Mount Vesuvius in the background.

After tromping around Mount Vesuvius all morning, we spent the afternoon in Pompeii. It was, in a word, another mind-blowing experience. To see how the Romans lived in 79 A.D. was nothing short of incredible.
