POMPEII!

I freaked out in Pompeii! I have never been that jazzed to go somewhere. As you know, I was in Greek and Roman art last semester. We studied Pompeii and the various styles of mural painting. It was so amazing to see and touch the ruins and murals! We also got to climb Mt. Vesuvius. Which was paradise compared to Mt. Etna. It was warm! Naples was a lot different than I expected. It was pretty outside the city but inside it was a tad on the dirty side of life. Friday night we took a ferry from Naples to Ischia. Which is an island of the coast of Naples. It was BEAUTIFUL! We spent all day saturday at Poseidon. Which is pretty much a water park for adults. There are all of these pools and spas that vary in temperature. You are supposed to go from the coldest ones the the hottest ones. They each vary in temperature. There is also a sauna and hot rocks for your feet! It was so nice to just relax and sit in water all day! It was nice after the crazy week I had. Then on Sunday we went back to Naples and went to the National Museum. Which has a lot of artifacts from Pompeii! Then it was back to Florence to Study for the next 36 hours!
