Nice gallery, Rick. Jan and I were there in September last year, but I still haven't had time to process my photos! We didn't get to see the skeletons, for some reason, possibly because we were hot and tired on a 35° day!

Herculaneum lay north of Vesuvius; early in the AD 79 eruption the wind blew the ash cloud south to bury Pompeii. The eruption caused most of the residents of Herculaneum to flee. though; which was a good thing because a few days later the wind shifted, the huge cloud of hot gas and ash over Vesuvius collapsed, and the city was incinerated with superheated gas before being buried in 20m of ash. Only about 1/4 or 1/3 has been excavated; the remainder lies under the modern towns of Erculano and Portici. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/organize/Italy-11-2018/Herculaneum/i-GvFLSqR Comments appreciated!
