Well, after 3 days in Roma (as the Italians say) and seeing the great ancient Roman ruins, the Vatican, and the all of the incredible monuments (which I hope to upload the pics here fairly quickly), I'm joining a group to visit Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast early in the morning... Pompeii was a town of about 10,000 that was destroyed completely in one afternoon on August 24, 79 AD, after the great volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted! The whole town was covered in ash and was buried for more 1,600 years before anyone discovered that it was there! Now it's an incredible site that you can tour and see how the people lived. I can't wait to see it and upload those pictures to share! Ciao for now!
