I see from her itinerary,


that Carol has one of my favorite days, in Italy tomorrow, when they tour Pompei. An amazing look into life as it was 2000 years ago, in a town on the Med coast. Streets, homes and business, complete with murals, menus, etc, look like the occupants just stepped away for awhile, except for the plaster casts of bodies that were trapped in the lava and ash, then preserved in their final death throes, by injecting the voids left behind. You can see the looks on their faces...
