So, I am back in Florence after an amazing weekend! Today we went to Pompei to see the Roman ruins and also to Mount Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius is known for its eruption in AD 79. This eruption led to the burying and destruction of Pompei. We saw ruins there of markets, we saw the body of the people and animals petrified from the ash they were buried in.
We later went on the expedition that was Mount Vesuvius. We road on our charter buses as far as we could and then we get out and hiked about half a mile to the top of the volcano. It was a thrilling experience. We were able to see the view of Capri and Sorrento and that is just another thing I can cross off my bucket list. We have 2 weeks left in Italy and time is going by so fast! Tomorrow I have class and then a cooking class!
Ciao!
