The Ruins in Pompei
An educational daytrip in one of Italy’s well known ruins.
Pompei contains the preserved building that survived the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius hundreds of years ago. Because ash preserves structures, the city still dwells for many people to visit. Ancient Greek civilization and an empire that ruled in its day belonged to Pompei. When the volcano erupted many people were buried in lava that surrounds and some people covered in lava are on display. This is the most visited site in the south of Italy and even in the winter many people were there visiting. It was a historical and educating experience although I wish I knew more about the history of Pompei before I visited.
Welcome to my site and I hope you enjoy it. When I first travelled to Europe while I was in college I really had the time of my life seeing the many different types of cultures. The flavors of the food, the welcome of the people, the love shared across the world was so much greater than living in the United States ...
