Hello again,

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Italy this past spring.
While staying in Sorrento, we visited the ruins of the city of Pompeii. Pompeii was a thriving commercial port of 20,000 that was buried under 30 feet of hot mud and volcanic ash from the 79 A.D.
erruption of Mount Vesuvious (the beautiful mountain in the background of the pictures). The hot mud & volcanic ash turned to stone and froze the city in time. Pompeii was rediscovered in the 1600s and excavations began in 1748. It has taught archaeologists almost everything they know about ancient daily Roman life.

After visiting the city itself, we went to Naples Archaeological Museum to see some of the artwork that was recovered from Pompeii. In Naples, the birthplace of pizza, we enjoyed the best & cheapest pizza in all of Italy. Naples is Italy's third largest city and Europe's most densly populated sity and a tourist city by no means. Naples offered us our best look into "true" southern Italian city living (poverty, trash, laundry, pizza, noisy vespas).

Have a good day,

Chase & Karissa
 

Hey everyone,

In March, we had a wonderful vacation to Italy. We were able to travel around and see a lot of this beautiful country. We have so many pictures (800 or so) that I thought I would send out a few of our favorite pictures weekly from the places we visited.

We began our trip in Sorrento, Italy. After flying into Rome, we took a 4 hour bus ride south to Sorrento. Sorrento has a 1970s Hollywood resort town feel to it. It's where the rich come to play.
The small town (30,000 residents) sits along a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea about an hour south of Naples. It is a perfect place to stroll in a clean Italian village and relax, taking in the beautiful views of the bay of Naples, while eyeing Mount Vesuvius in the background. We stayed about ten minutes up the hill outside of town. Included are pictures of our room and balcony which captured a beautiful view of the bay. The sunrises were a sight to behold in the mornings. For once, it was easy for me to wake up early!! Seafood, pizza, homemade pasta, and gelato (Italian ice cream) were our meals of choice in this Southern Italian town.

Hope you enjoyed...more to come!!
