More from the Malta trip


I used my Canon EOS Elan 7e with Tri-X and my 28 - 135 lens. Tweaked it a bit in photoshop. I have finished preparing the photos for this album. Should have it loaded in another few days.

Pompei




When we were in Malta, we booked a flight to Naples, Italy, and booked a hotel for a couple of nights. We went to the marvelous archelogical museum. That building itself, is a worth taking the time to see. We then booked a bus tour with a guided tour of Pompei. We had an excellent guide. The excavated city takes you back to 79 (AD or BC? Not sure) when the volcano Vesuvius blew its top and covered the city in lava and ash. Rick Steeves did a travel show segement on Naples and Pompei and it aired this evening on TV. How very timely.
