Public Service Announcement #1

Reasons not to build your house at the base of a Volcano:

- Lava
- Ash
- Duh!

Well to sum this one up we took a tour to the ancient city of Pompeii. Pompeii and its sister city, Herculaneum were completely buried during the eruption of mount Vesuvius. Herculaneum was covered in lava while hot ash rained down on Pompeii. Today Pompeii is still one of the most active archaeological sites in the world.

Of course when you visit Pompeii everyone wants to see the plaster cast of the dead people. So in order to not disappoint here you go . . .
