Pompeii: Italian Sandbox Vacation
Saluti!
While on my vacation I plan to visit Pompeii. Pompeii was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The ash buried and smothered the city - basically wiping them off the map until around 1600. The ash actually preserved the forms of people, artwork, and painted walls.

Wow. Paul, I love Italy. I lived there for a couple of years and love everything from the food to the people. Try the buffalo mozzarella, foccacia, and any seafood you can find.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
