Pompeii












We spent yesterday visiting Pompeii, Vesuvius, and Herculaneum very informative...here we are in front of Pompeii. Our guide, Gaetano was very good. He brought the information to life and illustrated the advanced nature of the Roman society: running water, pedestrian squares, one-way streets...We particularly enjoyed the evidence of household decorations: frescoes on the walls, mosaics on the floors. Teddi keeps saying she's going to have to get some color in her house when she returns.

Today I'm trying to get the hang of adding pictures, so details will follow. Check the old posts--I'm adding photos nearly all taken by Marty.
