Last days in Italy
It has been a fun trip but it is now time to come home and get back to the classroom.
This is the ancient town of Pompeii. A volcano erupted over 2,000 years ago and covered the whole town in ash.
I enjoyed eating my pizza in Naples. This is the city where pizza was first invented.
This is the colosseum. It was the first stadium built and was a major influence on the way all stadiums and arenas look today.

What I love about the Colosseum is that it has stood up to the test of time. Though it has influenced the way we build today there is no arena that has held up like this. It is amazing what the ancients could do with just man power and a dream.
