(He actually appears to be holding a bow or a harp or something but that\'s no fun).

A better view of Vesuvius, complete with light poles.

A bit that\'s currently being excavated.

A blurry little thing next to the Tempio Dorico. I thought it was pretty in a thing-that-Romantic-era-people-liked-to-copy-so-much way.

A doovie on the wall! I wonder if it was a street marker for those who were as lost as I was! I should probably know but I don\'t!

A funny little niche in the wall. A lot of (work)shops had them. I dunno what was in them but I\'m better it was something I\'d like! (ie small and religious... or maybe it was just a safe to put money. either way...)

A last goodbye to the forum, more residents, and Vesuvius...

A last goodbye to the residents...

A mosaic, either in or just before the Necropoli di Porta Ercolano.

A much better picture of the temple. Isis managed to get herself everywhere, like the Magna Mater. Except then Isis got roped into the whole Virgin Mary thing and poor Cybele fell by the wayside a bit. I\'m rambling, aren\'t I?

A much better wheel rut, with a road-crossing-stone-thing in the foreground on the left.

A nice view over partially excavated lower levels, outside the main area.

An ornamental doorway which I found very pretty. It is at the entrance to the Tempio di Vespasiano.

Another descent into the bowels of hell.

Another dog mosaic at a front door. I think this is on the Via dell\' Abbondanza somewhere.

Another local. He sniffed my Cheeto and then rejected it.

Another niche thingie. Don\'t worry, I think this is the final one.

Another painted room. A lot of the rooms were very small, like this one, and I can\'t help but feel the painting makes it even more claustrophobic.

Another wall decoration in the same villa which I particularly liked. 

Taken: Mar 9, 2007

A particularly fine painting on the back wall of a shop, on either the Via di Castricio or dell\' Abbondanza.

A pile of roof-tiles. Most (if not all) are modern, which makes this photo not nearly as fun as I thought it would be.

A shallow relief on a little structure inside the temple complex. They appear to be losing their clothes. That\'s what you get for not using velcro.

A tunnel underneath the seating.

A very blurry picture of another \"erotic game\". It is actually a sad place, the women who worked there were probably slaves a long way from home.
