Going to Pompeii was a truly extraordinary experience. I found my time here really made learning some things in art history a breeze because I was previously exposed to it. I wish I had had the chance to visit the brothels but our tour did not extend that far into the site.
Have you been? What’s your favorite site at Pompeii?

Love the photos! Especially the one of you as a statue clever girl
thanks for the pics
Thanks! It’s totally one of my favorite. I used it once for my Facebook profile photo.
I agree this was a wonderful place to visit — I’m glad we chose to go to Herculaneum the second time we were in the vicinity. That was amazing too!
Both gave a sense of what it would have been like in the immediacy of the tragedy.
There is that sense of time being frozen at places like Pompeii and Herculaneum if you can get away from the tourists for a bit. In a photo that ended up blurry, I waited for the tour to leave a room in the bath houses so I could take a photo. If it hadn’t been blurry I think it would really show what you’re saying.
