Pompeii

On Sunday we took the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii. Pompeii is essentially a huge archaeological site, and although very interesting, both of us were expecting it to look more like it did from descriptions we read as kids I guess with loaves of bread still on hearths and people frozen forever in time. Pictures are of plaster cast of person and other salvaged objects, ruins with Vesuvius in the background, the Pompeii botanic garden!, Jake listening to the audio guide description of the process of justice (the judge sits on the elevated piece seen here to show his status and to keep him safe from the populace), bakery with flour mills and oven.
