I am going to let the history of Pompeii and the pictures I took speak for themselves on this post:
I tried to take as many pictures of the murals and reliefs as possible.....so incredible.....so timeless.
I don't know whether it is the retailer in me, but I did find this the most fascinating part. The groove on the bottom of this part would be for a sliding wood door for the markets. They were side by side. Almost like a main street of today.
One of those places I have seen so many documentaries of, but never in my wildest dreams thought I would visit one day. The area is vast. It was hot and hard on the feet. But, mouth dropping and awe inspiring! I would like to read more about it to put what I saw in perspective. It was actually overwhelming the thought of how old it is. A little strange how there are new sculpture exhibits with the old and people along the trail selling wares. They are still digging. And I just had a real hard time with what was real and what was staged. But, totally fascinating and worth the time!!!!!
