pompeii was quiet. It was hotter than I imaged it would be. It was one of the few places I've ever been in my life where I felt an open connection with the sky around me. The hill that the city is placed upon leaves it totally open to the sky around it. The land slopes down around it for many miles and you are left open to the heavens. Obviously Mt Vesuvius lurks in the distance but it wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be. I felt like the air was clear and I was on some type of land island in the sky. I wished I had more time to explore but my class was on a tight schedule. Either way the whole place was marvelous. I think I was one of the 2 people who actually enjoyed it.
