OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.<br>Bohemian? Yes<br>Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.<br>So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.<br><br>Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury<br>

... area. Well, since I had been told it existed I went in with more confidence. Indeed. It was the LARGEST seating area of any of the pizza contestants. There was a small area next to the kitchen that was off a small entry way -- hidden from the street. Then upstairs there were at least 4 rooms with simple chairs and tables. Just waiting to be the lucky support of some delicious pizza.<br><br>I ordered the Buffala pizza. Mozzarella di Buffala (HEY! Does that mean from Buffalo milk ...

... the maniac behind the wheel were enough to make you feel nautious. Sophie's parents had rented a villa in the heard of the village, with amazing patios and views of the sea. From Positano we did a couple of day trips to Capri, a small island about a 35 minute ferry ride of the coast and a trip to Pompeii to the ancient Roman ruins ...

... advice on where to go in the area. Good location to go north (to Naples and Pompeii) and south to Positano and Almafi (which is a hair raising but spectacular drive). We also took the boat to Capri which is a beautiful island and especially loved the Blue Grotto. First time we ran into some rain and we were at Pompeii for about 2 hours before it started raining .. even ...

... as we depart and leave the Bay of Naples, we sail south through the Messina Straits around the toe of Italy toward the Greek Island of Mykonos. But we don't arrive there until October 1st, so that means we enjoy a relaxing day at sea! So far, the weather has been fantastic! Very warm temperatures and little to no cloud! Hope it continues! Se ya tomorrow! Ciao! Rick &amp; Elsie!<br><br>

... the Santa Maria Novella we saw The Holy Trinity by Masaccio a famous Renaissance painter. In the Santa Maria del Carmine we saw the Brancacci Chapel that was also done by Masaccio but also by Filipino and Masolino. we saw the Masaccio's famous scene of the Expulsion from Eden, and the large scene to the right of the Expulsion from the New Testament Gospel of Matthew. it was fascinating and beautiful art work. Michelangelo practiced drawing the frescoes in order to learn the ...

... on the old historic mural paintings. it was gross and i was ready to leave the city to be honest. lol. <br><br>the 6 hour bus ride was long but i slept and did some homework. it was nice and relaxing. except the fact that i had the urge to go to the bathroom the whole time! it was horrible, i wish i could have done what my family does on long trips like that....lol. shhh. <br><br>well i love yall! xoxoxoxo<br><br>panda<br>

... but I liked the surprise of what it was really like. On a side note, the area of Pompei had the largest lemons i have ever seen in my life, they were about the size of large cantaloupes. I should have bought one simply to say that i bought a lemon that big lol. Anyways, we got lucky and some other students dragged us into the ruins, I guess we got the times mixed up and we could have missed out on the ruins completely. Once we got inside we all gathered in the ...

Arriving in Naples &amp; Pompei February 26 &amp;27 We spent most of the day traveling between Florence and Naples, and boy was Naples a shock compared to Florence. Florence is very compact and fairly orderly. You can see beautiful things everywhere you turn. It also was super touristy. We heard lots of English there. Naples, on the other hand, was chaotic and dirty. Scooters and cars whizzed by as you struggled to get through ...
