5B Day 3- Herculaneum

On our last day, we checked out of the hotel then headed to Herculaneum.  There we enjoyed comparing the ruins and getting an idea of what a wealthy Roman seaside town was like.  We were really impressed by the rock that has been excavated and by the skeleton remains we saw. It was a lovely trip.  Thank you to the chaperones, Mr. Antonio, Ms. Westelaken, and Ms. Paola!

These are pictures from the latrines and the changing room of the baths.


We saw many lovely Roman houses, with all of the rooms and even some frescoes left. Here we are looking at an impluvium, where rain water was caught and used for the house.
