what a weekend!

Woah - sorry about the delay in posting! It has been a really hectic few days!

I'll start from the beginning.

So on friday we left at 7am for pompeii - I was definitely excited to see the ruins! All in all it was pretty cool to see. There were SO many stray dogs, though. I think I saw about 25. They were all so friendly and would follow us around because we gave them attention. It was nice :)

After the ruins we drove to our hotel, which was in a little town between Naples and Sorrento (I can't remember what it was called...). It was BEAUTIFUL. It was a little town among cliffs - it looked a lot like Laguna Beach. I loved it. Our hotel was extremely nice, too.

Saturday was one of the best days so far. We drove 40 minutes to Naples to take an hour long boat ride to Capri. Seasickness aside, it wasn't that bad.

Capri.........was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I can't even describe it. We arrived at about 10am and me, Cate, and Amanda layed on the beach until about noon. We ate lunch (pizza and pasta of course) and then took a private boat tour around the island. IT WAS AMAZING! It was about an hour long and we got an awesome tour of the most beautiful parts of the island.

So to the bad news. About an hour into the tour, we got a brilliant idea to go cliff jumping. We got to a cliff that our boat driver told us people jumped off of all the time - it was 20 meters. Amanda went first - jumped - hit the water - aaaaaaand ended up dislocating her shoulder. We had to go to the Capri hospital. It was not good. She has to basically wear a body cast until she goes to the doctor in Rome on wednesday.

BUT besides that questionable situation it was a great weekend! I posted pictures here and will be updating alot more now since this weekend should just be a laid-back time in Roma!

19 days until my parents come :) :) :)
