So I could go on and on and brag about how cool Pompeii was. Talk about how it’s the best preserved ancient Roman town, how we had a great view of Vesuvius, but really that would be a lie. According to me it wasn’t worth the 11 euro admission.
The history of the town is fascinating and much of it still is intact. We walked down the old street roads and many of the buildings were still mostly constructed. However, they were still ruins.
The bodies were really exciting. When the volcano blew and covered 2000 of the town’s inhabitants in 8 feet of ash many were buried alive. Then, when the lava came, it solidified them in the pathetic fetal positions they had been in right before they died!
