One of the stories that always fascinated me as a child was the story of Pompeii. Alan and I decided that while we were in Italy we would take the time to go and see the ruins. It is quite amazing to see how much of the city survived. After the eruption, Pompeii was covered by 30 feet of volcanic ash. I can not imagine the amount of hours that went into excavating this site.
I think this was the entrance to one of the more wealthy homes.
The above picture is a building of importance. Comparable to a modern day court house.
This was the bakery. The 4 stone structures are what remains of the grinding mills. They would tie slaves or mules to the wheels and have them turn the stone all day to grind the grains.
This was the Egyptian temple.

Beautiful pictures! It would be one of the places I'd choose to go too if I had the time.
