I have left Pompeii.
I left after a delightful and exciting trip to both the old Pompeii ruins and a climb up Mt. Vesuvius.

I have returned to Rome to spend a night at a friend's and to pick up my parents.
Who have booked a hotel that is impossibly far away from the center of Rome in a fit of frustration and now we will have to do a lot more traveling than actually being in some place.
