We took a day trip to the ruins of Pompeii. for those of you not familiar with the story, Pompeii was destroyed within 2 day in 79 AD by a volcanic eruption from mount Vesuvius. it was burried in 4-6 meters of ash and pumic. only after 1,500 years did it get rediscovered. anyway it was pretty eerie yet extremely interesting walking through the streets.
now if THIS doesn’t creep you out a bit, nothing will.
one of the super rich houses during that era.
afterward we went up to see this monster that caused such disaster. here we are at the very crater. there isn’t any activity going on as you can see, however there were certain isolated spots where you could see steam coming through the cracks. there’s definitely something going on deep inside.
here is the view of the surrounding countryside from the top.
and we certainly couldn’t pass through the gates without making conversation with some good-looking italians!
“i was almost in awe.”
LOL. this comment is so you. i am literally rolling on the floor.
