Pompeii is a city that is half buried/ ashed over in Rome, Italy near the city of Naples. I went to Pompeii some years ago on a trip to Europe with my family- the city amazed me. When I was there I put myself in a Pompeii villagers shoes (did they wear shoes? oops, oh well), the fear one would have having a huge volcano (like Mount Vesuvius) there waiting for the right time to erupt and wash away a city. OH! A good example of this actually is the fear some might have in San Francisco, the fear of a huge earthquake like the one in 1989. So, today I have posted here a map of Pompeii and San Francisco to show it's similarity in design and how Pompeii really was an 'old day' San Francisco to the people who lived there in that time. A few random things I experienced while at Pompeii (this has nothing to do with my comparison of SF to Pompeii)... my tour guy went on and on about everything and we could hardly understand him haha, BUT what was great about all the tours was you got little stories and information that THAT tour guide found interesting. In Pompeii though, I would have almost preferred to just walk the streets and use my imagination..the city spoke for itself with the vibes that were given out by it and the art work (wall decor) and architecture (the buildings, homes, were so well thought out).
