A few friends and I were able to head to Herculaneum for the day. The site was well preserved from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. We could see many of the frescos and even the wood components that were used such as stairs, beams, and doors. It was interesting that the site was not very busy and allowed us to walk around it like people did nearly two thousand years ago. I was also amazed to see how much of the old city still remains buried. So much history and treasure still awaits to be uncovered.
