Wish they’d do that to all taggers in general, when I went to Rome last year there was graffiti all over the place.

A small price to pay for having your name carved on one of the 8 Wonders of the Ancient World right next to the names and titles of the original Vandals from a thousand or so years ago

I saw it too. I asked the tour guide we were with, “Why do they allow this?” He just ignored me.

I am amazed that in Pompeii you can walk up to the frescos and run your oily have over them, with no one watching (directly). Exposed to the atmosphere, too.
They won’t last long.

"...a Russian...An Australian and his son...as well as a teenager from Brazil and another from Canada..."Glad none of them were Americans - we are always told that we are the worst-behaved travelers, the "ugly Americans," but it seems in this case there are some people who have us beat!
