The Ruins of Pompeii with Mt.Vesuvius

Today we drove about an hour to see the ruins of Pompeii. Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and completely covered the town of Pompeii, leaving the residents covered in ash and many bodies preserved when the town was discovered many years later. We saw several bodies they had restored back with plaster--very eerie. It is pretty amazing to see all the frescos still on the wall and the tiled floors in houses that many years ago.
