Naples Day 2-Pompeii




We spent today visiting Pompeii. It was amazing.




This was shot at the entrance to the Ampitheater. It's one of the best preserved amphitheaters in the world. It was build in approximately 70BC. It was in fantastic condition. (We may have started with the best amitheather in the world, and all the rest on the trip will be downhill from here.)
There were mosaics and paintings, fountains and pools, atriums and outdoor dining rooms. Pompeii was a playground for the wealthy and it showed in the spacious dwellings. Tomorrow, we'll go to the national archeaological museum and see items that have been removed from the city.

On the way to the train station:
Just when we thought that we'd experienced all the culinary delights the world had to offer.....
