see Pompeii

...I’m going to live in Pompeii back in the day! Nearly didn’t make this one due to train strike in Naples. Waited over 3 hours for trains to start running; God I hated that city! Was worth the wait though. Pompeii even more amazing then I was expecting. If it wasn’t for the large groups of tourists you bump into now and then you would swear you had stepped back in time. I love it when something you learned about in school becomes real! Nerd or what!

I will be in Rome for vacation from June 2-16, so I will be making a day trip to Pompeii!!! I’ve been fascinated with Pompeii ever since 7th grade History class, now I finally get to see this place frozen in time by a tragic eruption! I even read Robert Harris’ novel “Pompeii”...picked it up last summer on vacation.

Did it in February, 1999. Very cool. Would love to go back, perhaps.

A must see!
