Pompeii: all aboard

Lining up for the bathroom spaceship pods. There's something vaguely cultish about this scene.
Pompeii

Layers of ash, reminds me of baklava.

Pompeii

Plaster people cast from the voids left in the ash. The bones are still inside.

Pompeii: raisins are evil

Grape vines. Scary scary grape vines.

Pompeii: the sacred golden roll of American toilet paper

The rare American roll of toilet paper. Much more valuable to us than any mythical golden fleece.

Pompeii

Pompeiian version of the pedestrian bridge. Spaced so that horse drawn carts can pass through. Stepping stones allow water to drain, and still provide areas for people to cross the street. I just like them because they're shaped like Hostess Twinkies.

Pompeii: la cucina

Kitchen, sadly my own kitchen was in worse condition than this at the exact time this photo was taken.

Pompeii: hidden restaurant behind cafeteria

We're making Coach eat his hat.

Pompeii: cuisinart

Ancient food processor technology.

Pompeii: dumpster

In Italy, even the trash bins are stylish. With an accessory cat.
Sorrento

The famous resort town of Sorrento. Known for their excellent lemons. Excellent lemons make excellent limoncello. Korean car maker Kia named their large SUV after Sorrento. I fail to see the connection between the two. No sightings of any Kia Sorrento's driving around in Sorrento.

Sorrento: cliff side

I think we're all taking the same picture, no?

Sorrento: Dr. Evil

A very dangerous house to live in if you're a sleepwalker. Very James Bond evil villainy. I'm certain there is a secret elevator hidden behind a grandfather clock that takes you to the underwater cave where the submarine is moored.

Sorrento: grand hotel la pace

Peach trees in bloom outside the window. Perfect for dreaming about bellini's.
