TravelingTwogetherPompeii: Pink Floyd & Roman TemplesIt was a dream come true to visit Pompei With my daughter. I learned that Pompeii was destroyed not only by a Volcano, but also by an Earthquake and a Tsunami. And did you know that most of the artifacts from Pompeii are actually now stored in Naples?

Gambling, prostitution and lots of wine.
