Day in Pompeii


Mt Vesuvius' most famous eruption took place in 79 A.D. when it covered the ancient city of Pompeii.  The excavation area is immense!
We walked 'n walked but still only saw a small portion of it. 
For this trip + at this time of year, we were practically the only folks there.  :~)
Entrance to the city.




Note:  Mt Vesuvius in back ground. Original shape was a cone.
Roman Baths.... decorated with carved statues + mosaic tiles.

  a Bakery !  :~)


Road ways with worn cart tracks.
