I read an article a few months back regarding a recent initiative for the archaeological site at Pompeii, requiring them to make the site more open to the public to draw more tourists. When I last visited the site, there was not much for us to do but wander the streets and take photographs. Many of the homes were closed, and we could only peer into the gates to see where the doomed redsidents used to live.
But in recent months, Pompeii had really stepped up in their tourism activities and I must say I am very impressed. They opened a bike route through the site, and they will soon opena new visitors center.
But most recently, they're hosting this special senses tour of teh final moments in the city, and I wish I was there to experience it.
Here's the article for more information:

I always carry around a notebook in my purse, either a reporter's notebook or bounded notebook, and I jot down throughout my day thoughts and ideas about the current happenings in my life or ideas for articles and stories I want to write. This blog is a more organized version of my scattered notes.
