We got up early on July 3 to head to Pompeii. What a fantastic find! We really haven't progressed much with modern time. They had take out, crosswalks, sliding doors, street markers, illuminated roads, water supply. The city was preserved because when Vesuvius erupted in AD79 the volume of ash asphyxiated everyone who was there and the amount of ash protected everything from the elements so archeologists could learn many things from them. I was warned by my friend Mary that Pompeii was really a brothel stop for sailors coming into port as well as the gladiators in a training school there. In total there were about 20 brothels according to experts. There were fresco pictures on the walls in order for sailors to point out what they wanted. Like Mary said they were the first McDonald's Happy Meals!!!!
Then we came to our hotel in Sorrento and then took off for a ride on the Amalfi Coast and the town of Positano which is the town where the girl in Under the Tuscon Sun found out her new Italian lover had another girl in town.
It is exactly what you picture about Italy in all the postcards. Bella Italia!!
