Off to more art, celebrating our 8th year anniversary, and oh yeah birth place of pizza!
The adventure continues in Florence. Our tour guide really illuminated the Medieval architecture and how people lived in the 12 and 1300s.
Sardinia was refreshingly low-key - sharing a villa with some of our PDX (and one of our Alaskan) friends. We didn't get any pics that truly captured the gorgeous beaches and crystal clear Mediterranean water but we had some very refreshing hours lying on the beach, swimming and snorkeling at the beach 30 meters from the house we were staying at. The Nuraghi ruins (still Sardinia) from 3500 years ago blew us away. The guide helped us understand some of their lives and what they went through to survive. They did have a room they believe served as a type of refrigeration, so I don't know what the drama is about. :-)
Naples made us understand where New York driving came from. Also the sass. It was culture shock from Sardinia to this intense city, but the birth place of pizza eased the transition. The National Archaeological Museum houses most of the artifacts from Pompeii and also an extensive collection from 300-500 BC - mostly from tombs. Again - Wow.
We took a chill day today in Sorrento. Tomorrow it's Pompeii, then Amalfi Coast, then we head off to Rome.
Hope it's sunnier there than it was here today! It felt like we were back home!
Ciao!
