Sooo alot has happened, but like I said, the demand for the computer restricts online access. The most eventful things have been our trip to Sorrento and Rome, and our excursion to Assisi.
In Sorrento, we stayed in our first hostel, and met people from all over: UK, Canada, and US. That was fun times. We went to Pompeii, which was definitely my favorite part of the trip. We saw the ruins (including the cast molds of the victims -- super cool) and afterward I had shoes hand made for me in the store in the market in town. They are super cute. I got pictures. In Rome, we did the Warner Powell tour of the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Vatican. We ran through the city of Rome, raced the tour guide through the Colosseum, and ran back across to the Trevi Fountain, threw our pennies in as we passed it at a dead run and made it back to the hostel in time for free pizza dinner. Yes, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but if you are a member of the Powell clan, you can appreciate the rapidity of our Rome tour. We did the Vatican the following day and saw the museums and the Sistine Chapel. The entire thing was just incredible. ALAS my camera died after the second picture of the colosseum, so I'll have to steal from my friends. Our real adventure began when we got back to the train station from seeing the Vatican. It was about 2:40 and we had to catch a 3:00 train. Catch: We had to get back to the hostel and get our bags first. Two of our group stayed behind and the other four of us RAN, no exaggeration RAN, two blocks to our hostel and back to the train station. When we got back we couldn't locate the two of our group with our purses, phones, money, and tickets, so Caitlin and I RAN through the station looking for them. We found them, got back to our train, and boarded just in time.
I wish I had time to do this next part of the story justice, but I'll just have to tell it like it is. A little girl sitting next to one of our group got out of her seat and, under the protective wings of her mother, PEED ON THE FLOOR. Y'all, she peed on the floor on purpose while her mother looked on and there was a BATHROOM! OOONN! the TRAAAAINNN!!! It was an adventure. Like an intense game of don't step on the cracks. It was don't step on the urine that's runnin your way cause this train is moving. Whew. I've been on this computer for a while so I have to go, but I've loved hearing from all of you that have contacted me. If I can't respond, Know that I love you all soooo much, and miss you like flowers miss the sun. Kisses for you all, I'll post again next week after we get back from Venice and Milan!
