Thursday was our first oft so free days, so a group of us decided to travel to Naples and Pompeii to see the ruins. There, some of my friends were set on going to the top of Mt. Vesuvius, which had never crossed my mind. However, I decided to join them, and it was an awe inspiring experience. We took a taxi most of the way up then climbed for about half an hour. Then we spent some time wandering around (and getting lost in) Pompeii. I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures below, since it wasn't technically a class day.

Halfway up!
We were on top of the clouds
Inside the ruins, in an amphitheater
Casts of the body cavities found in the hardened ash
Even though we were rushing to see everything before dark, the ruins were beautiful in the sunset
Cast of a dog
The way they were covering their faces freaked me out the most

Awesome! Love these ones. The casts are super interesting. And love the photo above the clouds, that's crazy! Glad you're having fun over there and seems like you're learning a ton. (:
