Last days of Pompeii (and Naples)

PolloGomma thought Pompeii was fascinating yesterday, but was pretty tired by the time we finished seeing Herculaneum, too. Pompeii was vast but it was the little things like chariot ruts, pizza ovens, and detailed mosaics and frescos that displayed its humanity. Same for the smaller, better-preserved Herculaneum. Above both sites looms the broken mountain of Vesuvius, as much a ruin of its former glory as the destroyed towns below.

We find ourselves facing our final day in Naples with sadness about leaving but full of anticipation for our next destinations - Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Isle of Capri...

Said goodbye to one of our favorite shops near our hotel - liquor and guitars. What's not to like?!

Ciao till we find wifi again!
