This is me doing a reenactment of the people who lived in Pompeii as they would have run when Mt Vesuvius exploded in 79 AD. That is the volcano in the background.
A long time ago Pompeii was a Roman city. It was full of houses, roads, a forum, a mini-colosseum, a theatre, and hotels. When the volcano exploded it first covered the city with ash. This is what killed most of the people because they couldn't breathe. Then the lava came and covered up the ash and that is why the city is so well preserved. We even saw some bodies that were covered in ash. I liked going into all the houses because you could really see what it was like to live there 2000 years ago. I really liked going there, especially because we got to see it with our friends, the Turners.
