Naples was really cool and very historical. The first place we went to is called hermerculum. They had a huge mud slide that came down and completely covered up this entire town. They excavated and found all of these remainings of this town.
Remember the column thing...ya I'm obsessed!

The ancient town that they dug up.
My amazing dad!!
The clouds were so cool here. A storm was totally rolling in and the thunder was super loud. Luckily it didn't rain!!
This was a kitchen.
I love my parents!! And yes, I love columns too!
This is the beginning of the Pompei pictures. Pompei was completely covered in ash from a volcano. And again they excavated and found this incredible town underneath, including dead people. This is a two way street below and you can tell that by the three stones. They had carts and wagons back then and the wheels would go right between these stones. If it was a one way street there would only be one stone.
They must have been very thirsty back then.....this is a HUGE cup!
This is the theater that they had in the town. They are actually going to put seats in there now so they can still use it for plays.
This is a picture of a wealthy persons house. They would be somewhere in the ball park of 17,000 sqft.
I know creepy right.....These are pictures of actual people that they found when they excavated. The ash was so hot that the moment it hit the town people were dead immediately. Notice there faces, it's obvious they were in a lot of pain.
This was our tour guide. He was so good and knew every little detail about the town.
After leaving Pompei we took the train to Sorrento which was gorgeous. They had all of these extravagant hotels up on cliffs. I definitely want to come back to this place someday just to stay in Sorrento.
Instead of taking the long train ride back to Naples we took the hydrafoil. The hydrafoil is a really fast boat. To be honest I wanted it to go faster!!!
