Pompei Archeological Park Day 1

We were both really tired. Phil slept 10+ hours! After some coffee, yogurt, a roll, and a hard-boiled egg for breakfast, we set out for the Archeological Park. It is huge! We walked about 5 hours in the park and only saw about a quarter or less! As a result, we will go back tomorrow.

The excavations have been ongoing for years and continue today. We saw the large amphitheater where the games were held, theatres, beautiful houses with spacious gardens, a laundry, several merchant homes, a large ornate public bath, some fast food places of the time, etc. We finally gave up for the afternoon as it began to get warm.

We had an authentic pizza from a place translated to "The House of Flames." I had a cheese pizza, and Phil had something with bacon and sausage. We each brought a half home for tomorrow's breakfast.

I also bought two grapefruit and two lemons from the owner's grandmother and will incorporate those into our meals.

Tomorrow, we will go back and see more of the parkRead more
