Naples and Pompeii
Still moving south: staying in Naples and visited the amazing excavations at Pompeii. The site really has a lot of presence from the people who were there: the streets and ruins really evoke the city and their everyday things are still present in their homes, shops, and squares. Vesuvius is a dominant presence, both over the ancient ruins and the modern city.

The last photo is a real jewel.
I just couldn't believe that I was really looking at Vesuvius across the Bay. 'Just amazing. The scientists are saying that another eruption is overdue: I can't imagine what something that big would do to the area if it churned up again.
