Naples, Italy (Pompeii)

On May 25 we took a bus to Pompeii. The ruins were incredible. We saw plaster casts of some of the bodies. Pompeii City was huge. We could see Mount Vesuvius in the distance. After the tour we wandered through Naples and had some pizza (and Italian beer, of course). Naples was my least favorite city - pretty dirty and stinky and loud. But we had a great day!

Another plaster cast - I think this is sad

This was in the brothel. Each room had a fresco showing the woman's "specialty". Pompeii was pretty decadent!
This is a penis on the wall pointing to the brothel!

Hahaha! Those penis pictures are hilarious! Hey are you guys planning on staying the weekend at wolfcreek for Josh and Soni's wedding? We were thinking it would be fun to take the boat up to Pineview and stay all weekend. Miss you! xoxo

It is funny that they use a penis as a directional tool. More funny that you guys took pictures of them. haha. I would have done the same though. The teeth are freaky on that "mummy" thing.
