Pompeii and Herculaneum

 Pompeii and Herculaneum In August the Girls came for a visit. We were busy, so they first went up North to Milano and Florence. But then we all went to Napoli for a couple of days. The weather was HOT. But we all managed not to die in spite of the heat and a case of shingles. The floors in the devastated city of Pompeii were amazing in detail and beauty. The columns that were still standing or reconstructed were pretty cool. Until I saw the ones at the museum that they saved from looters. The Theater The mountain that did all the damage. Looks innocent now. Walls! Herculaneum Although Pompeii is the more well know archeological find, we all agreed that Herculaneum was wonderful too.

When it came to drive there, rather than put in the address I just put in the name of the castle. "Bracciano Castello". Who knew there would be more than one. Not me.

It was a win.  There really was a castle!         Just walking around the little village    The sweet little church. It was so simple, but so beautiful.            ...

Random Churches

 Random Churches In Italy (and probably all of Europe) never pass up a church. If they are not having services, take a peek inside. For the most part they are all magnificent. Here are a few that we have seen. If I remember, or remembered to take a picture of the name I will name the church and place. Otherwise, just enjoy the view. Napoli Rome I don't remember where this was, somewhere in Rome where we just popped in as we were going somewhere else. Rome - Basilica of Saint Cosma and Damiano The same church, but the guy at the desk said (to Richard in Italian) "Would you like to see the crypt?"
