... traveling with the fam in Pompeii

Ever since I was about 5 years old, I have been fascinated with Pompeii.  It has been one of the top 5 places I have always wanted to see.  After all that time, Pompeii did not disappoint.  To the contrary, it was shocking how well preserved everything was.





One of the main squares in Pompeii has a great view of Mt. Vesuvius.  








The next two shots are of restaurants they had, most likely pizza joints.  It was probably a Dominoes.  



I was amazed by how vibrant the colors still were.  They must have used Behr paint.  












Pompeii apparently has enormous lemons.  


After visiting Pompeii, our drivers took us around Naples for a little while until we found the perfect gelato place.   This is one of the famous squares in Naples.  It also happened to be one of the only places in Naples without garbage everywhere due to the fact that the garbage men were on strike.  That's not a good group of workers to go on strike.  I feel like if garbage men go on strike, you should give them whatever they want.  "A new gulfstream jet and a 100 foot yacht.  Yeah, that sounds reasonable.  Just please take our garbage.  Please!"
