Visited along the guide, Puerta Marrina and The Forum, the Temple of Apollo, the Basilica, the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Vespasian, the Temple of Fortuna Augusta, Casa del Fauno (this house was huge and called us much attention because it had a pool in the middle of the house); The other thing we saw was the TERMOPOLIO the Larario (is what you now call a bar), where women who worked there were very interesting, and the kids who went to those sites left him letters written by the walls of the city that it was also made to women working in brothels commercial that went to Pompeii where such premises to be located on the street drew penises pointing the way to the brothels, another thing that the legend is that if you touch one of the penises that are in one of the walls you run the lucky you win the lottery, each of us went to touch her, although our colleague Laura was deceived by the guide and told him to close his eyes and he shake hands when he opened his eyes and realized where his hand was, he was very funny and we all could laugh a lot.
