Today we went to an Acropolis [at San Felice Circeo]. It was so fun. I walked on the beach and found a shell. Here is a picture of me holding the shell:

This is the beautiful view from the Acropolis [looking out towards Terracina, a popular weekend beach getaway for Romans-KMA]:
This is Daddy under a sculpture with pretend water coming out [taken in the old quarter of San Felice Circeo-K.A.]. It is actually a garbage can painted and then they put wire on the side and then put blue tissues and chandelier pieces on the wire.
This is a picture of us. In the distance a volcanic lake [Lago Albano, taken from the town of Castel Gandolfo, the Pope's summer residence-K.A.]. We ate pizza in a pizza shop and the man says that the Pope comes in summer and orders the pizza from that place and his favorite is diavolo, in English "Devil Pizza!" The ingredients: cheese pizza with spicy salami. One time it was too spicy, but he said he loved it.

Pompeii
Just like my second post on this blog, we are going to talk about Pompeii. We went there and saw many things and Mom took over 300 pictures there. Can you believe that? I bet its a lot for you. My mom's camera can take over 300 pictures. In 79AD afternoon, Mt. Vesuvius erupted suddenly. Some people were asleep and some were awake. The ones who were asleep were unlucky because they would die any minute. Later, they found those bodies and put them in cases and put them in parts where they found them or they put them in museums. And now they let you see everywhere that they have excavated. But they are still excavating part. It is a huge place to see. Herculaneum also. It is another town like Pompeii and the same way Mt. Vesuvius erupted and some people died there. Here are some pictures of what we saw.

The Silly Opera of the Wedding
Watch closely as the desserts come alive! The white ones who were dressed very good said "No you can't come!" But soon they let them go. Surprise! Watch as they transform.
