Bay-O-Napoli

...and we're back. I had a text presentation on Wednesday, and then the entire program left for the Naples area at 0700 Thursday morning, where I had to do a presentation in Pompeii. Between preparing for those and, you know, sleeping, I didn't get a chance to post anything about leaving. So my apologies to the three of you (Sam, Genna and my Dad) who read this.

Pompeii and the other sites and museums were pretty good but eventually I start to get tired of that sort of thing. Also it was chilly and rainy, and the bus driver accused us of puking on a seat in the bus (which we didn't). We stayed at a little hotel/hostel outside Naples which is part of some academic society and had good home cooked food and comfortable beds for two nights (it evidently caters to professors). Friday we climbed Mount Vesuvius in the pouring cold rain and wind, and had a shot of limoncelo at the top. It was pretty hardcore. Group picture to follow.

Saturday we went to the museum in Naples which was good (yay erotic Roman Statues!) and then after lunch, we left the official program (all but 4 of us) and walked to the Marina to take a boat to Capri. I think Capri deserves a separate post.
