When we arrived in Naples, we met Elizabetta, who was the woman we were renting our apartment from. We walked through Pompeii, which was SO cool! We learned tons of things, (almost) all of which are listed here:
- Shop and store ruins can be identified by a thin track in the ground for a sliding door.
- There were no street names, so people would say "Let's meet at the fountain that looks like (a) ___________."
- There is a temporary art exhibit set up, including a nude angel in the main square.
- There is an app that shows you places in Pompeii now and in the past for comparison.
- It is good to walk on mosaics because it drives them into the Earth.
- Only men were allowed to be hot in the sauna and then jump into the cold water. Women were only allowed hot water.
- There was a (modern) restaurant halfway through the city that serves excellent (real) french fries.
...and much more!!!
Well, then we got to our apartment and settled down. The end. Yesterday's post is coming soon. Sorry about the delay.
