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
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.
