Capri, Sorrento and Pompeii

Wow what an incredible day. Still no luggage (but it is supposed to be here when we get back from our excursion.) We started out by taking a boat to the island of Capri, this is a gorgeous island. The views are amazing. We walked up the hill to see the views, and visit Ceasers Garden. He had a palace on the top of the island, some things do not change because this island is full of 5 star resorts and villas used by the celebrities.







In Caesars Garden



Next we took the boat to Sorrento, Italy. This village was built on the cliffs over looking the Mediterranean Sea. We had lunch and then learned one of the trades that this part of Italy is famous for. They do beautiful wood inlay artwork they use it for paintings, furniture and music boxes. We got a beautiful table for the entry way in the new house.



From Sorrento we drove to Naples and visited Pompeii. This was Jason's favorite part of the day. He loves seeing the ruins and learning about the people that lived there. I was impressed with this city that was buried by a volcano ash. They had no warning and thousands of people were killed. The city that they had built was amazing. The way they did the plumbing (yup they had toilets), the water fountains, the merchant areas, the tile work, and the amazing paintings.







It was really hot!!! So that is why my hair is plastered to my face.
