I agree! This well-written article brought back many memories of our (postponed) honeymoon in nearby Ravello in 1970 (our first one was rained off!); having been back to Pompeii and Herculaneum seven or eight times since then, there is always something new to discover, and new facts to learn.

Very different from the dry turgid texts in our Latin Primers at school – you really brought it to life so vividly – you weren’t there in AD 79, by any chance were you….?!

Anyway, thank you and congratulations!

Luv

John

Wonderful writing, Janet–it takes me right back as we walked the Herculaneum paths a couple of months ago. Your history of the excavation is an eye-opener and provides the background I need to fully understand the impact of this one event. At many times as I read this, I said to myself, “I didn’t know that!” and that’s what a good writer does–makes her readers aware of things she didn’t know before reading. This is a must-read for anyone before visiting these sites. Thank you!
