Our journey through Southern Italy is coming to a close, but no voyage is complete without walking through some of the deepest parts of history. We’ve had the good fortune of exploring some of the most magnificent archaeological sites this region has to offer. This morning, however, was more than a field trip of exploration—it was an awakening, feeling the ground beneath us almost exactly as it was 2,000 years ago.
Our morning in Pompeii was humbling and our guides did more than point and talk, they brought us to a time and place with a sense of familiarity. The stories resonated with all of us differently, but everyone felt connected.
In the afternoon, we were fortunate to experience the historic streets of Salerno. The ancient streets we wandered were a work of art—from colorful laundry hanging on the line, to dainty symbolic murals and the ever so frequent scruffy alley cats. We couldn’t help but to marvel at it all.
