Pompeii

Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the city of Pompeii in ash, preserving buildings bodies and brothels for your viewing pleasure.

The human remains preserved (looked at synonyms for ‘preserved’ and was delighted to see ‘pickled’) pickled by the volcanic material were wicked. Men grimaced, their arms covering their faces, women covered children, and soldiers looked stoic as their last moments became immortalized—sealed in molten clay…kind of like Hans Solo. Jabba the Hut would be pleased, well pleased forsooth.

Our Pompeii tour guide was quite sweet, but she had nothing on Nikki. We all missed our delightful Greek guide, who is now famous for quips like, “Brad Pitt, eh?” or “Greek backside, eh?” or “I prayed to Zeus all night, eh?”

Tomorrow…ROME!
