Pompeii






Have I mentioned that it is HOT? Pompeii is only an hour from Sorrento on the way back to Rome. It's weird because I thought it would be out in the middle of nowhere. It's in the middle of the city. We decided to do our own tour here since we had limited time. We started out following their map and reading the little book, but back to the Forum, once you've seen one ruin, you've seen them all. Sweat was just dripping down our backs. We stopped in the little caffe(air conditioning)and decide what we really wanted to see. We got to all but about four using the point and shoot method of photography. You could spend all day, we spent 3 hours. I think we decided that it was about 104 and 50% humidity.
