1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
... since it’s Christmas Eve. So I grab a train to Castellamare further down the coast, figuring I can backtrack from there to my stopping point.
In Castellamare, the sun is shining and people are out and about, and there’s a festive spirit in the air. The beach is full of trash—clearly not an area catering to tourists, but still quite nice to see people outside en masse, something you ...
1140. A Disaster in the Making (Italy 117)

Three Days In the Almafi Coast
The first day was spent traveling from Rome, to Naples, To Sorrento to the Elios Hotel outside of Sorrento. The second day, we toured Pompeii (or at least what was left of it.) It was pretty cool. I got to see a lot of ancient houses. I remember these crosswalks they had where there were two or three large stones in the middle of the road so that pedestrians could hop accross the street from the sidewalks since the street level was at times ...
