Remember in the 80s that Nat'l Geographic did a impressive story of Pompeii and Herculaneam (sp?). Did a large college report based upon that story. The whole story of the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneam still impresses me.

Wow! Very lively colors! I hope the excavators do something to preserve that. I have a feeling that the frescoes discovered during the past couple of centuries may have looked just as fresh when first discovered. Thanks Blam!

I visited Pompeii and Herculaneam some 35 years ago as a young man, and I can honestly say that I still remember it as probably the most fascinating places I have ever visited. And since I was there, much more of both towns has been excavated. I hope to visit there again soon and take my wife along.
If you ever get a chance to go to Italy, do NOT miss visiting these two towns -- so very fascinating, I cannot describe ...

Neat. I hope they have more pics of the various frescoe's. Sure would like to see them in real life.

I went there in the late 1990s. It was amazing.

My family and I were there this summer. This makes me want to go back. Ephesus was my favorite, however. Pompeii was a close second.
To: Conservativegreatgrandma
I need a vacation, I think this is the ticket.
To: Conservativegreatgrandma
Ephesus was my favorite, however. Pompeii was a close second.Is Ephesus another town in the area covered in 79 A.D. by Vesuvius that they have excavated??

Is Ephesus another town in the area covered in 79 A.D. by Vesuvius that they have excavated?? Ephesus is nowhere near Vesuvius. Rather, it was a large city in Asia Minor (in modern-day western Turkey) that was very important in the New Testament church.

Thank you for clarifying that ...

No. It's just that our cruise made stops at both locations, as well as Athens, where we also visited Corinth.
It made other stops as well but none as memorable as Ephesus, Pompeii and Athens and Corinth.
To: FastCoyote
We took a Mediterranean cruise. I recommend it highly. I dream of returning. I need to visit Ephesus again. I can't get it out of my mind.
