1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
... see in the wintertime here. There are families and a lot of young folks, just chilling out together, and the center of activity is a large, fancy gazebo in the center of the plaza. Right down the road is a port and immediately afterwards the steep mountains of the Sorrento Peninsula—another "must see" of my tour.
But now I’m heading inland, up the narrow side streets of the town, then to where ...
1140. A Disaster in the Making (Italy 117)

Typically in Italian towns there are always running fountains of water, so I didn’t think I’d need to bring water. Now, I’m starting to really feel the thirst, but I try to convince myself that, if I just keep going, I’ll be able to eat snow to quench my thirst!
Finally I see them… the ...
Sorrento
... they hadn't gotten very far from the coast. They decided to bomb the monastery to avoid the tremendous loss of life it would have cost to take it any other way. The problem is that by the time they did, the Germans were gone, so this beautiful monastery was destroyed for nothing. Because of this, the Americans completely rebuilt the Abby after the war, and it is spectacular. After the Abby, we stopped for lunch, and the bus groaned ...
