back to xanga!
I'm back in the States, which means I'm back to xanga!
ciao italia!
This was the most beautiful mass I've ever attended...so many different languages and people of different backgrounds coming together to celebrate Palm Sunday at St. Peter's Square. Amazing.
Today was another day invading...oops, I mean visiting the Vatican. Chris and I wanted to climb up the dome to St. Peter's, but the line...OMG. We didn't know where the thing ended, so we started following it, only to find out that it wrapped around somewhere. What the hey?! Blah...ah well, we're near the Vatican anyway, so we just wandered around Rome again. Took the metro and visited San Giovanni in Laterano.
And we're back in Rome!
Yesterday, we arrived in Sorrento, which is in the south of Italy...
Don't mess with our tour manager. =P
Today, we woke up at the asscrack of dawn to catch a ferry to the Isle of Capri. It’s supposedly the richest island in
Unfortunately, I got a little seasick on our way there because the boat was rocking so much…initially, we were sitting up on top in the freezing cold, and I fell asleep for most of the ride…then Chris and I went down to the lower level in preparation for getting off, and the boat was moving sooo much. =X Yucky feeling.
We took a guided tour of the island…our tour guide was pretty cool, but after a while, touring a tiny island got boring. Instead of going on the last part, which was a boat tour around the island (didn’t wanna get seasick again), Chris and I just walked around and whatnot. We found an internet café in the attic of this gelateria place, so we were on there checking mail and stuff for about an hour. Had mango gelato (OMG SOOO GOOD!), then we didn’t know what to do after so we just walked around some more, stopped into souvenir shops, and just sat on a wall that overlooked the Mediterranean Sea. Mmm…the weather was super nice once it cleared up from the cloudy, rainy morning. Sunshine and cool breezes all around. =)
Chris being a retard.
We boarded the boat, 8 hours later, for our way back to the mainland. Spent a couple of hours in
After shopping around and stuff, we went back to the hotel for dinner with the group and now everyone’s just chillin. Another early start tomorrow; wakeup call is at 6:30, then we’re off to
I love the
