Another World

Being especially interested in the historical aspects of the cities and countries that we visit, it will come as no surprise that we found Pompeii quite interesting. Our string of great weather continued as evidenced by the photos....

These ruins are very interesting! I watched a Discovery Channel show on Pompeii last summer-they reenacted the whole disaster with probably more fiction than fact, but it was cool to watch. Thanks for sharing all your awesome pics! TH
