On Friday, Lindsey, Tyler and I went to Pompeii with another group from Penn State. The bus ride was long and cold, but it was nice to have goosebumps rather than sweat covering my body (ew, I know, but it's true).
The guide took us around, starting with the Forum where we saw an altar that would have been used for sacrifices, a few columns that at one point made a temple to Juno, and the walls of a basilica:
We then made our way over to the theater:
Before going to the brothel:
Mt. Vesuvius:
We saw the House of Mysteries, which has a surprising amount of surviving walls:
I wish we had been able to spend more time walking around, but the ride back was full of stories told by us as well as the Penn State group, which helped the ride back go much faster than the one down.
