The Med
The Med
September 3rd
-Got up early and drove a few hours to Naples where we visited the National Archeological Museum of Naples. This had artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
-Then drove down to Herculaneum where we got to walk around the preserved city. It was so neat because the city was filled with hot mud and other materials it didn’t destroy a lot of the walls and ceilings.
-The drive from Naples to Minori was very interesting…to say the least. We were on the big bus but going down these windy roads up and over a mountain. At times it appeared as though we were going to fly off. A beautiful drive though with green mountains and sporadic little towns.
-Minori is a little touristy beach town on the Mediterranean. As soon as we got in we headed down to the beach to check it out. It is black sand beach so something that I am not use to having lived in Hawaii.
-Dinner in the hotel and then walking around the city for a few minutes.
September 4th
-We were headed to Pompeii for the morning so we had to have another windy drive but it was along the coast this time. Spectacular views!! The coasts are these steep mountain sides with cute little houses lined all along with black sand beaches. I was so tired and wanted to sleep but couldn’t stop admiring the views.
-Pompeii was great just like last time. I enjoyed the tour much more this time because he took us to more places than just the red light district like the last time haha.
-Peter wanted us to draw for an hour so me, Cailey, and Emily found a shady spot and drew. Haha it is so ridiculous I cannot draw. The worst part is people walking by are expecting us to be these amazing art students sitting around drawing but you can see the disappointment on their faces when they see what we are doing haha.
-After Pompeii we quickly made the drive back to Minori. As soon as we got in we threw on our suits and headed for the beach. We got in a good three hours relaxing in the black sand. The water was crystal clear it was great.
-Dinner in the hotel and then we decided to walk around the city again. We attempted to watch a soccer game but it was little kids. We walked by the water on these little cliffs and got some great pics of the town lit up at night. We ventured up some random stairacases to get another good view. The city is pretty small so walking around doesn’t take too long. Especially since the roads are small and windy walking them at night is too so safe.
-We watched two episodes of Arrested Development and then hung around all night!
September 5th
-Luca (our director from the Dante Alighieri Academy) talked Peter into letting us have an entire free day. We boarded a boat in the morning that took us over to Amalfi (only 2.50 euros for one way!). The town is super cute and small. We walked the main road with all the little shops and businesses.
-We then set up shop on the beach which was another shocking experience. The beach was rocky. There was not one ounce of sand on this beach. It was much easier to float here. We kept laughing thinking about how all our friends were sitting in class and we were floating on the Med loving life!! I got some great sun and loved just hanging out at the beach. Luckily no nudity. But no body image issues here everyone wears as little as they want without any reguard to their body shapes.

-Boat back to Minori and dinner at the hotel

When I first started reading the "Don't you wish you were here?" rock art, I thought it was going to say, "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" The answer to both questions is yes.
