Pompeii


Took the train to Pompeii for the day on Sunday. The ruins are amazing. They cover such a large area. Its hard to imagine how the city could have just disappeared that fateful day. It was a beautiful sunny day and we walked for hours and took hundreds of photos.

At the end of the day we took the train back to Sorrento, had a nice dinner, a bottle of wine, and did our usual evening walk about for a few hours.

The atmosphere in Rome was that of a big street party each night. In Sorrento it is more of a street festival. Each night the town closes off its main roads to traffic and it seems like everyone comes out to walk, have a gelato and just enjoy the night breezes. Either way the Italians sure know how to have fun and live life. We are going to miss this town.
