Whats that? I dunno, lets check it out.

Today we had another low-key but awesome day. I woke up before Jordan and spent a few minutes sitting on our balcony, taking in all the sights. Its still hard to beleive how incredible this place is. I was talking to my friend Michelle tonight and she summed up the beauty of Italy perfectly. She said, "I think God potentially made Italy just so He could be like "yeah heaven's better than this" and we could be like: "showoff." haha I love her and Italy.

Pino took us down to Amalfi again this morning after another fabulous breakfast; he got us there in perfect time to because right after he pulled away the bus to Ravello was getting ready to leave. Ravello is a town that is famous for music festivals in the summer and is apparently where all the rich people live. However, since it was a Sunday in the off-season it was fairly quiet. Jordan and I spent some time wandering around the streets. Actually it was more like climbing up and down the streets because everything is so steep. But we found some really cool things and got some fun views. We also found a pottery shop that had some cute plates and so we each bought one, and I'm really excited about them! After getting some gelato we then caught the bus back down to Amalfi, spent some more time collecting rocks on the beach before grabbing some pizza and talking to a nice man while we waited for the bus.

We got back here and had a planning session for Vesuvius tomorrow with our "big brother," or "good friend," Pino. He really is the nicest man ever. After we went back to our room he had to call us back for some paper work or whatever and he brought us some strawberry sherbet something that was delicious! How cool is it that we got to eat bread and oil (we picked some up earlier) and sherbet on our bed in Italy! Tomorrow we're going to hike up Mt. Vesuvius and I'm so excited! Its going to be an epic adventure I'm sure.
