beep beEP BEEEPPP! 430am? On a Saturday? This calls for a FIELD TRIP! 4 hour bus ride to Herculaneum in Campania near Mount Vesuvius (all this is near Napolis [Naples]).
After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD, the entire town was buried in ash and mud. Not until 1709, when some workers were in the area digging, was the town under about 22 meters found.

| The town would sell their goods in these built-in bowls. |
 |
| This boat was found on shore |
 |
| 20 meters below is a town full of history |
It is better preserved than Pompeii but doesn't get enough credit. It was a cool site to see. The only thing that remained from the town was the boat, and a few skeletons, as well as one bed frame.
