A wonderful surprise

I am reading an interesting book about the eruption of Vesuvius that buried Pompeii in 79 A.D. The author is a paleontologist and science writer Alberto Angela. This book shows the life before the eruption and tells the stories of real people , really existed that lived in Pompeii and Hercolaneum at that time.

It is extremely interesting: do you know that the Vesuvius wasn't as high as it is today? It didn't seem a volcano! (? ...do you mean: didn't look like a volcano) Do you know that the an archeologist discovered a murder in Hercolaneum before the eruption ?

Well, last evening night I was thinking about those places that I wanted to see again  (would be better to say something like: "...about wanting to visit the location(s)/cities/sights again") , when my boyfriend called me with a surprise: tomorrow we're going to Naples and surroundings! It will be a long travel by car (I live near Turin), but I am very happy!

* Che carino. Buon viaggio domani!!! :-)))))
