Unfortunately, we haven't had as much access to internet as we originally had thought, so our posts have been slow in between. I have to keep this brief as well, but wanted to update you on our recent whereabouts. Since our last time we posted, we've been through Siena, Rome, and now we're in Sorrento, Italy. They've all been great for their own unique traits. I think Sorrento will probably be our favorite thus far, thought Rome is kind of unbeatable in many ways.
When in Rome...
- the crazy guy on the metro actually kicks a passenger that denies him money. Wow...really!?! Haven't even seen that in DC yet.
- there's that really pleasant big city smog cloud. Lovely...
- internet is slower than Red Creek dial up. How is that possible?
- the history, however, is beyond cool! Hundreds of years beyond some of the oldest ruins we saw at Mesa Verde on our way across country.
Rome is a noisy, busy and chaotic city, but once you get past that, there's acres of ancient city all at your fingertips. You don't just read history here...you see it. It's amazing to think that we've walked on the same roads that Mussolini, Michaelangelo, Julius Ceasar (just to name a few) have walked on hundreds of years ago. It's truly a phenomenal place.
We're in Sorrento for the next couple of days. The coastline is gorgeous. We plan to take a break from sightseeing for a couple of days and really enjoy some vacation time in this cliffside mediterranean (sp?) village.
We will be in Greece with family within the next couple of days. Will do our best to post pics there.
