Yup, Pompei and Herculaneum, both on my list! <br />We saw an exhibit in Philadelphia last year called 'One Day in Pompeii' that was very fascinating. Artifacts, casts created of some body cavities found during excavation, information on what life was like, and a volcanic simulation of that last day.

So I accidentally clicked on your WI link and was all set to post a comment when I realized what I had done and then headed over to A Mixed Bag. But I thought I would share my remarks anyway: Hi Val.

It really is amazing that the ruins are still around to be looked at. I found it a bit dusty there and as the day wore on I felt quite grubby... I didn't get that feeling in Herculaneum. I'll see if I can find some pictures of the other one.

As you know, I am so drawn to architecture, so I really enjoyed this post!<br /><br />And what I kept imagining was how the people were dressed back then; walking through streets and various areas.
