sorrento and pompei
Saturday morning charlie, colleen and i left rome and headed south to Napoli, the third largest city in italia. we were only in napoli breifly, just in the trainstation. from there we took a train to the small coast town of sorrento. it was a pretty cool little town but its a shame it has become overly touristy. the rain did not help either. oh well. we stayed the night there and the following day we went to pompei.
Pompei is good.
its amazing that the whole town has been preserved this well! another thing that surprised me is that the town is as big as it is. the town is huge. i guess the population was like 50,000 when mnt. vesuvius blew up. i think my pictures do it more justice than my words. anyways, we were there for a while, then we left to napoli again so that we could take the train back to rome and then so that we could take the train back to castiglion. yay. talk to you soon!
