Re: Pompeii on Google Maps

  • Pompeii is an absolutely amazing place to visit. We had such a wonderful time...it was so interesting to see that culture and all the neat things they had...from sliding pocket doors to big vats for wine at bars. It was one of our favorite places to visit on our HM. I think I may use this google maps thing to teach my 5th graders about it.
  • I think the coolest thing is that the whole place still smells like it's burning!

    And I loved the early "cafeterias" - they would boil water in deep counters, and put clay trays of food on top to keep them warm.  And the raised walkways across the roads!

  • Okay, how the heck do you get the cool view? I clicked the link and I also went to google maps and I still can't figure it out.

  • The smell - I forgot about that! The one way/two way street thing was awesome too. And the brothels...our tour guide demonstrated how they would howl lol

    Maybe! Ours was Mario, an older guy with grey hair. About 5'11" or so...hilarious. "Follow Marrrrio" he kept saying...and warned us to never talk to strangers :)

    I missed what our guides name was.  I will have to email you a picture and see if it's the same person.
