Ciao!

I'm in Italy!

It was a full 24 hours of traveling to get to Naples between the airplanes, trains, and buses oh my! We arrived at our hostel at about 10 pm friday night, and were created by Giovanni. Lets just say there is a reason that his hostel is rated top ten in the world. It is cheap, and he is very welcoming. He made us a map of sites to see, and what not see. Apparently the mafia controls a good third of the ton and he put a big x on the area, telling us not to go there. Personally I think the whole mafia thing is fascinatig and i would love to chill with them.... haha. Sam and I decided that wer were going to join, or at least have boyfriends in the mafia.

Our first full day here we followed the site seeing guide he provided us. We saw a few churches, did some good shopping, saw a castle, and had some bomb pizza. Sam and I toold a ridiculous amount of pictures with graffiti on the walls, my mother will be so proud! :) We also went to see a tunnel that is under the city. The first part used to be an amphitheater and a stage for the actors that was not discovered until 11 years ago and its 1200 years old, and another portion was greek aqueducts. This were pretty cool! These were used later in 40's as bomb shelters. There was one part of the tunnel that we could only see our way through the use of candles. I fell down of course! haha. I also bought a small purse, a dress, and a pair of boots earlier that day! That evening Giovanni made us dinner and played us songs on his guitar. He is truly an interesting specimen.

Today we ventured to pompeii! Definitely a place worth seeing. We all took an obscene amount of pictures and got a little rosy. Tomorrow we are going to the island of Capri and having a beach day :) it will be a very nice change from all the running around that we have been doing! Less expensive as well, I'm pretty sure my wallet is crying silently... Tuesday we are off to rome for the colleseum, Wednesday the Vatican, and then not really sure of our plans the next few days after we part with Becky... We shall see! Love Italy but I miss Greece already. I consider it my home. I'm pretty sure my heart is Greek and my genetics just got screwed up. Thats all for now, there are only 2 computers at the hostel had to make it quick!
