Stops in Italy, Pompeii

There's only a few more stops till I head back to the good ole US of A. One of the stops was Pompeii. This was a very interesting stop. Its amazing to see what had survived after so many years. I would recommend trying to be in with one of the first tour groups. This is only opened for a few hours in the morning, then a few hours in the late afternoon. There were sooooo many people as the day went on. There is a small street market to shop while you wait for it to open and some good places to eat.

Even in 79 A.D there was a red light district.

Yes, you do see something in the bottom right corner, hehe

That's how you know where you were at.

The tile patterns are so pretty and unique.

The pattern below tells you, who's house you are at.

Its what was used as an address.

Some pottery that had survived

The roof of one of the many bath houses

Statues like this can be found in the rich homes and was used to keep the demons out of the home.

One of the shops that you can go into while waiting for the ruins to open is the Cameo Factory. Its a quick tour to take and there is amazing jewelry. All is made in Italy out of shells. I purchased this beautiful one. The artist that made her was there and I was ale to get his autograph on the back. There's a lot of history as to how the Cameo came about. One of them is

Early Greek and Roman carvings featured images of gods and goddesses, themes from mythology, beautiful women and biblical events.

Pompeii is must see when you make your trip to Italy.

Next stop is Capri.

Vatican City then headed home

As I finish up sharing my trip to Europe, I have started making plans to go to Australia. Its hard to believe that it has been a year already since my last adventure. I must say a great way of finish up this amazing trip is going to the Vatican . My Aunt and I had purchased our tickets for the museum a head of time to avoid the lines. Highly recommend do this. As we waited for out time to enter the museum, we decided to walk around a bit. We decided to go in to Vatican City. We noticed that there were large crowds forming. Turns out that on Wednesdays that Pope Francis has a papal audience and gives mass . . We decided that you cant come to Vatican City and not see the Pope if he is having mass. There was a few hours before it stat, so we went to the museum. The last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci The tombs were just fantastic to see, such great detail, telling a story.
