Pompeii

This day worked out in our favor. The storm was kept at bay for the majority of the day, but the looming overhead clouds, with the breaks in the sunlight reflecting off of the puddles throughout the ruins really set the mood for what we were seeing. It also helped that we had a tour guide who regaled us with stories, probably fictitious but all the better, about the people of Pompeii at the time. It was extremely interesting to walk around the ruins and see the way in which people of the day lived. Aside from technological advancements, I don't think that man-kind has swayed too much in their habitual lives. It's definitely a site to see.
