Pompeii and Capri

Our last two days abroad were amazing. I'm sorry I didn't post earlier. I was so exhausted by the time we made it back to the hotel that I had to go to bed.

We left Rome on Thursday morning to head to Pompeii. The city if Pompeii was covered in ash by a volcano which preserved the city almost perfectly. When walking through the streets of Pompeii you could almost pictures the Romans there with their horses and chariots. I think all of the students were impressed by the ruins. After Pompeii, we continued to sorrento which is a beautiful city on a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The views were absolutely incredible.

Here's our picture with the ruins and My. Vesuvius behind us:

On Friday, we caught a ferry to the island of Capri. I think this was the highlight of the trip and everyone really loved it! We took a guided tour at the top of the island and then a boat tour around the island before having free time. Most of the students went to the beach to swim while several others went shopping... To get their custom made sandals! Many came up to me and begged to stay in Capri! 

After a wonderful day, we headed back to Rome to prepare for the journey home!
