Pompeii

This is a plaster cast of a dog.

These are the stones and the chariot wheel tracks.
And all that rain.

Pompeii was interesting because you can see plaster casts of people and the poor dogs and what they were doing when the volcano Vesuvios erupted. We could se lots of pottery jugs and other things people have found, but mostly pottery jugs. We saw the houses, baths, and snack bars for the people living in Pompeii at that time. The people used a lot of chariots at that time, there were indents in the road where the wheels went. You could especially see the indents around the rocks I'm about to talk about. The rocks were big oval-ish shapes of rock in the road, because the people had to wash the streets everyday I don't know why they washed the street so much. But the rocks went across the road, them and the sidewalk were higher so people could still walk around. The rocks were spaced out so that the chariot wheels could go in the spaces. When we were there it rained most of the time and when we left it was raining so hard the road was a lake and we saw what those rocks were used for. There was also a big amphitheatre that we saaw before we left, and Kaija and I climb to the top,mom and dad
stayed down. It was really tall, and a long way around. We wanted to get down because it was raining so hard. When we got down we were drenched, fun for the train ride home. Ughhhhhhh!

This is Kaija and me on top of the amphathitheatre. Before it starred raining.
