Pompeii, Italy, February 2010
And I couldn’t feature an upward view of Pompei without a clip of Frankie Howerd:

It must be so cool to be able (non covid times) to travel and see all these old and ancient places. The US is so new. 😀

I visited there in the mid-seventies but don’t remember too much about it, so what fun to see photos from there. As for the Ides of March, that’s my birthday! 🙂

I have heard about Pompeii so much. I’d love to visit but when it isn’t hot. A beautiful collection you got there, Debbie.

My last time in Pompeii was just 18 months ago but it seems an eternity away. I remember it was so hot I almost gave up halfway around the site but I had someone with me who had never been before so that kept me stumbling on with sweat pouring into my eyes (and i had an umbrella). It was one of the hottest days in a hot June. But – wish I was there now!
Loved the FH as well. Classic.

Aaarrgghh … what a collection of old chestnuts! I know “A funny thing happened at the Forum” of course, but I didn’t know this off-shoot. Thanks for smirks on this dreary Saturday morning, so many naughty bits, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
