What I Saw:

Today I saw the city of Pompeii, it was huge.  Today I also saw Herculaneum, it is much smaller than Pompeii.  I climbed Mt. Vesuvius too.

My Favorite Part of the Day:

My favorite part of the day was going to Pompeii and looking at the gemstones at the stores on Mt. Vesuvius.

What I Learned Today:

Today I learned that Pompeii was covered in 3-6 meters of volcanic ash.  Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.  You can never out run Mt Vesuvius because it can pore 1,500,000 tons of lava per second and can shoot up lava and stones 33 km high.
