It's so true!!!
Yes, my Laurie, people used to warm weather are wimps when it is cool - even if "cool" means 70+ degrees. We used to see that in Florida when we went to Disney World. You guys would be swimming because it was 75, and the floridians would be dressed in sweaters and windbreakers - go figure???? Lovees, Lovees, LOVEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice photo
Lauren, for a slight rant, this was rather tame for you. I think it was definitely more of an observation -- an a true one at that. I am so happy spring is there! it is actually getting nicer here but it seem to be high one minute and low the next. Love you - Mom

What a nice end to your visit
Hi, Honey -- well, it is clear that you did not love Catania but it did have some nice things. The pasta party sounds like you had a lot of fun -- nice to catch up with other folks who are traveling. Nice relaxing way to end your visit so it left a nice taste for your trip to Sicily. Love, Mom

Gorgeous
What beautiful views even if you had to be scared to death to ride the cable car -- the view was worth it! I hate the going down part (which is the opposite of you) but it was lovely so i am glad you went -- Love, Mom

Lovely Photos of a beautiful place
I am so glad the sun came out and you could join the beauty -- it is lovely. I knew turpentine would get paint out but i thought it would ruin your dress -- nice to know i was wrong. The amphitheatre looks amazing -- and is very good condition given how old it is. Looks like it turned out to be fun -- Love, Mom

What a ride
I think that it is so cool that the train ended up on a boat - who would have thought! It is a pretty cool story to tell. Well, the rain forced you guys to relax -- what a shame your first day was not sunfilled! Love, Mom

Good job
Lauren, I am so proud of you for actually going up that volcano (including walking along the very narrow trail). Knowig how much you hate heights, it was petty cool that you did it. Well, I am very happy you did not twist, sprain, break your ankle on the way down. You would have been miserable (not a very pretty sight). I love the pictures and the way you tell it. Love you, Mom

Sounds like fun visits
Lauren, these tours sounded like a lot of fun (even if the time was long). You made it real which is great for me -- it was nice to get your feelings about what you were seeing. I have never been to Herculaneum either -- we will have to go there sometime! I love Pompei so its hard to believe some other place is even better. I never did the underground in Naples -- if its a lot of going thru tunnels , would not be my thing but I am glad you got to see it Sounds like a fun time there -- Love, Mom

Naples
I had hoped you would like Naples a little more but it seems you saw the best (along with the not so good). Shopping thru the window sounds like it must have been pretty cool. I love that bargaining back and forth (wish I could do it but I just fold). Naples is set in such a beautiful part of Italy -- nice that you could see that beauty. Maybe Tamar remembers the pizzeria's name. We can have a list of restaurants to go back to .

Sounds like so much fun

I am glad you chose to study in Bologna cause it gave you more exposure to real italian life vs all the tourists in florence. I am really enjoying your blog -- glad you are doing it! Love, Mom

Classes, huh?
Lauren, its nice to hear that you also do go to classes besides having fun (lol)! While I know you love not having classes before noon, it must be tough to be in class so late consistently? although, it doesn't sound like they are giving you a ton of work outside of class. Maybe you should start reading those books while you have nothing to do -- what a shock it will be when you do -- lovies, Mom

I am so jealou
Lauren, that sounds like such a fun day (without having to deal with all the down side of venice)! I love the mask and I think the floats are very cool but I think they must have been more amazing in reality than the photos show. Ending it wih gelato -- what could be better -- my favorite thing! Love, Mom

Hostel
I am going to Rome in a few weeks and I would like to stay at a hostel. I am wondering if you would recommend where you stayed and what the name is. Was it close to the subway?
