Today we ventured to Pompeii, at the base of the impending Vesuvius volcano for a day trip with my parents. It was my second trip there, but it is one of those sites that is always interesting to see again and again. After seeing the beautiful architecture, fine tile work, and understanding the ancient culture, it is hard to believe that it is almost 2000 years old. It is quite an understatement to say they built things to last! Thinking what life and the people were like 2000 years ago is hard to get your mind around. Will our present day life, culture, and infrastructure last 2000 years into the future? I highly doubt it; a testament to the Pompeii’s longevity.
