mom arrives!

we are on our second night in napoli (new city). mom arrived on thursday morning, and we took a train to roma that evening. we spent the night there, and half of friday. we had an incredible dinner near the hotel thursday night and visited the colosseum on friday.

we are staying at a great little hotel near the train station in naples tonight, but will probably stay at one on the coast tomorrow. the weather has been interesting. huge thunderstorm last night, and low dark rain clouds over vesuvius today with stints of blue sky.

i didnt bring the cord for my camera, but here is what mom has captured so far.

ps. pizza originated in naples!

our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again. we had longer ways to go. but no matter, the road is life.

VENICE!

on monday my cross cultural psychology class took a day trip to venice. its about a 2.5 hour train ride. we arrived around 11 and we were there until 7. it was a beautiful city, and even though the sky was a little gray, we had perfect weather. its been raining on and off here in milan for the past 6 days.

tonight, most of my classmates are going to watch the election from 11pm until it ends at around 6am. instead, my roommate and i are going to the supergrass concert which is not far from the residence. i can watch the highlights of the election tomorrow, how often do you get to see supergrass perform live in milan.

here are some pictures from venice.
