Training Log Archive: Charlie

We thought we were going to the Archaeological Museum in Naples this morning, but it was a bit of a fiasco. We took the train in and a cab to the museum, only to find that it is closed on Tuesdays. After thinking not very long about it, we just turned around and went back.

After lunch Rhonda and I went back to the excavations in Pompeii to see the northwestern part that we had missed before. Now we have a better idea of why the guide didn't take us there. This area contains many of the most famous and well preserved houses, but it was almost all fenced off because of restorations, or for generally unknown reasons. We did visit the House of the Faun and the Villa of the Mysteries, both of which were quite fine. Then we walked back through the excavations to the eastern end and out to the Piazza of the Sanctuary in town.
