my life

Italia!

What an adventure Italy has been, and it has only been 2 days (plus a very long day spent on planes). We landed in Rome yesterday, only to find out that my luggage had been lost by the airline. So I had to wear Rachel's clothes for a day, and even went out and bought some new clothes and underwear. Of course, after I bought new clothes and went to the hotel, I found out that my suitcase had arrived (yay!). Roma is bellisimo! We spent an afternoon/evening in Rome, and were very tired after being up for 30 hours. Today we left Rome for Pompeii and saw the ancient city that was covered by volcanic ash in 79 AD. I didn't get to see as much of it as I would have liked, since the city is huge, but the ruins were amazing.

After Pompeii we stopped in the coastal city of Sorrento, which is up on rocky cliffs above the Mediterranean. We did some shopping and then headed to the island of Capri, where we came to our beautiful hotel and I finally found some wireless internet. The island is rocky and our hotel is at the very top of steep cliffs. The Mediterranean is a deep blue and the area is lush with life, especially lemon and olive trees, flowers, and vineyards. Tomorrow we will be going to the Blue Grotto here at Capri, and the day after that we will head to Naples, then up to Tuscany. I can't believe how much I've seen in such a short time, it is amazing!

I will post more later, my internet is on a time limit and my photoblog is not behaving very well today... :)
