Matty Rain In Italia

The light at top right is coming from the pope's apartment (for real). I wonder what he watches on Netflix. You can see it on the 2nd pic too, top right as well. When we showed up the three windows on the right were lit up, he/they turned two off.

I'm not a pope peeping tom, you're a pope peeping tom.

I am not a believer. I'm one of them cultural Catholics who went through the motions (first communion, confirmation, then I got married in church) but to me all of this is just stories in a book.

The neat part about this trip is feeling like you're living inside that book. There's a pretty deep sense of connection to the Roman Empire. I wasn"t expecting that.

The neat thing about Pompeii was being able to touch and step on basically everything. There's too much stuff to protect I suppose.

It all feels super alive. This fast food vendor booth was remarkable. One of the terracotta pots had a manufacturer stamp on it. Most of the stuff there is 100% original- some of it was just repositioned/reconstructed but with the original bits, unless indicated otherwise.
