Italy

Going to Pisa now…. after Chinese food last night and tons of shopping. Blog entry to follow about how I will never ever understand women! What makes a purse nice or not, what makes a briefcase/laptop bag trendy for me, when the original sticker price is 400 euros.. like seriously?!

We left Amalfi this morning, of course once again, the Italian concept of “I don’t know!!” came up. Beth asked about the bus to Salerno, since we wanted the earliest bus to Salerno. The guy at the counter said the earliest one was at 9am, yet we saw a bus leaving to Salerno at 8am. So in the mean time, …

Well woke up at 6 this morning, unshowered and still reeking of sea salt yeterday..bleck! Couple things are apparent… 1.   If I dont go to the gym, I feel like mush… seriously 2.   Pasta, bread and what not, while amazing here and all, doesnt not make a body good!! 3.   Sea salt and clothes don’t work together 4.   Money doesn’t grow …

So right now, Amanda and I are chilling a little cafe in Capri… I just saw these great Lacoste sunglasses that I am going to get! So to kinda recap the day so far after our drunken midnight picnic on the Amalfi Jetty. Woke up late this morning, like about 10 am and then had breakfast with the girls. Beth …

May 26th 2008 7.30am: Buono sera from the Amalfi Coast! I’m just having breakfast here on the amazing open area of our hotel overlooking the Amalfi Coast and beach. Coming here from Salerno last night, I happened to look over the view in the dark and this drive is stunning beyond belief. Even in the dark, a couple things came …

6.35pm: Ok so we just grabbed a train from Napoli, where we got one of the most ridiculous sharwarmas ever. This one little kebab shop had shawarmas and I was starving, since I had not had anything solid to eat aside from the Orange Crack slushies outside of Pompeii.  Well when an Egyptian makes a sandwich, where the bread is …

As a child, I first read the stories of Pompeii and Ercalano in my Encyclopedias. The story of mighty Vesuvius erupting in 79 AD and destroying the two town and burying them for the archaeologists of today. Having read this and knowing that the volcano is active and has erupted in the last 100 years, makes me ask the question …

Today was our Vatican day. We started really early this morning, since we woke up late yesterday. How early, well I finished the previous blog entry at 5.15am and the wake up call was scheduled for 6am. So right now, I am running on 50 minutes of sleep. We packed up and checked out before we left for the Vatican, …
