Pompeii

We took the train from Sorrento to Pompeii.  The day was hot, clear blue skies and barely a breeze.  We skipped the guided tour and equipped with a good map and the guided audio tour we set off to explore.  The city is HUGE.  I never realized how big the site actually was.  You can explore for days.  We were there for 3 hours and did not even see half of it.  It was amazing to see frescos still on the walls, smooth marble, house numbers, temples still standing.... I think I took 150 pictures.  The energy of the city is still very much alive.  You can imagine rushing through the streets thousands of years ago.  I loved it here.  Pompeii made an incredible impact on me.  It was overwhelming the amount of information they have discovered!  Pompeii was everything I had hoped it would be and more.
