The city of Pompeii was once a thriving city that was unexpectedly buried under volcanic ash. Because the ash preserved the city so well, they have been able to excavate full human bodies. The streets, homes and even the bath house look exactly like they would have looked at that time.

Our fantastic guides - Guissepe and Valentina
This is a LEMON - not an orange!!
On our way back from Pompeii we drove to Naples which is on the southern coast of Italy.
More Rome at night - the colosseum finally!!
The girls tossing coins into the Trevi Fountain. Hopefully, we'll be back!!
