Pompei

I have come to realize 2 things. 1. I should have paid better attention in history class and 2. My husband is my walking encyclopedia. He is so smart! I am not one to brag about my husband but he is the best and is an abundance of information. On that note, Erich was really looking forward to seeing the Pompei Ruins. He had to give me a "cliff note" review of what happened in Pompei and I was shocked to actually see what occurred there. The town was completely covered with ash during an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79. During the 1700's the streets were excavated and most of the town was still intact. It was a sight to see.
