Just a short post. I'll try to catch you all up on Pompeii tomorrow. As usual we tried to use the directions from Mapquest and got lost. It took us to the town of Pompeii which is on the north side of Vesuvius instead of the archeological site which is on the south face. It was after 2pm when we finally made it and then we ate before we went in. Some of the food was a little wierd, John's bacon on his sandwich was not cooked well, but I had linguini puttensesca which was probably the second best dish I've had here. Beck's gnocchi was good too. He inhaled it.
We toured about 1/3 of the site. It's HUGE. Then headed back towards Rome. We dropped everything by the house and then went to the airport (Fuimincino which John and I have given up trying to pronounce and just call it Fu Man Chu) to drop off the car. With the evening train schedule we just decided to grab a taxi back to the house and it ended up being cheaper than the trains anyway.
Anyway, I'll post about Pompeii and the Vatican tomorrow.
