Sunday, October 21, 2007

Today, we left a little earlier than usual since we needed to beat the traffic coming into town for the Pope.

We had a tour guide at Pompeii.

It was a fascinating tour, even though it was raining outside.

After a long tour, we went to another Auto Grill for lunch and back to Rome for the afternoon.
