  2. Have you ever been to Pompei? I was there a few years back, and a geologist was on the tour with me. She pointed out all the volcanic rocks strewn all over. For some reason this picture reminded me of that. You would have loved her!

  3. Thanks Heather!

    Miss Crowland - I have actually been to Pompeii! I went to Italy as a teenager and it was a very exciting part of the trip for me. As a young, National Geographic-obsessed child I had done my 'speech' (a public speaking project we had to do every year throughout school) about the discovery of Herculaneum, which is another town that was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius at the same time as Pompeii. I wish I could go back again now! I've actually been getting really interested in Volcanoes in general lately.
