I had no idea how big of a city Pompeii is. And before I hype it up too much. If I went when I was 20 I probably wouldn’t have appreciated it the same as seeing it at nearly 50.

There’s just a ton of interesting facts about it. The technology they had , how they handled plumbing, warming their houses, stone streets with raised crosswalks. You can see the wagon tracks worn on the stones in the streets. And standing there looking at it while understanding this was a bustling city 2000 years ago.

I guess seeing “David” was pretty surreal also.

We stayed in Rome near a subway terminal and could walk/train all over the city. Which was fun too.

I’m atheist, however still quite enjoyed walking through the Vatican.

There really is an unlimited amount of things to see there ::)
