Rome Aftermath and Sorrento

Just a quick check in here. I escaped Rome with my life, after hitting all the biggies. Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, Vatican Museum, St. Peter's, yada, yada, yada. We were almost killed by the marauding tribes of bus tourists that were to be found EVERYWHERE, but we somehow lived. The ones from Croatia and Poland were the most interesting. But seriously, Rome is overwhelming. Very cool, but very crazy. Get in, get out, mission accomplished.

Now in Sorrento. Once again, we have a very nice apartment rented, so that's good. We went today to Pompeii, which was really wild. It's preserved so well, so for a history major it's pretty intense. It's also the home of Italy's largest stray dog population. Very strange. The remainder of our time in Sorrento will be comprised of gelato, sun, wasting time, avoiding feral dogs, and pasta. Should be a good break before the adventure that is Athens and Istanbul. Later.
