Italy

So I've been gone for ten days and this is the first time I've had enough internet access to actually do any real work. I am alive and well. The adventures didn't take long to find us. The first few nights we camped at a crowded site in Pompei. It was basically a collection of lots in the middle of the city, right beside the train tracks.

The entrance to the ruins of Pompei was about a two minutes walk from the camp and on the first night we bought a pizza and walked into the ruin. When the sun started going down we decided it was time to leave only to find that they had closed the gates and we were locked inside ancient Pompei. We wandered around for a while before we encountered a security type individual who pleasantly escorted us out of the ruins.

Pompei Hound

 









    Pompei is traditionally a place of many dogs, and the same holds true today. They are everywhere, most of them living in the ruins. We had one Pompei dog who adopted us and followed us back to our camp to live with us.
    Pompei is really well preserved. Lots of the original paint is still on the walls, and there are tons of pictures here.
