Day 22: Leaving Stabia

Today, I woke up bright and early to say goodbye to Mount Vesuvius from the roof of our hotel. The volcano was slightly draped in cloud and glimmered in the purplish-pink sunrise. Our two weeks in Stabia has come to an end. It has been a wonderful experience: climbing Mount Vesuvius, visiting the homes of Pompeii from 79 A.D., and eating the delectable Italian dishes! What a great two weeks.


Now, we head to Rome. I am anxious to see the Roman Forum, the Vatican, and the newest Italian fashions! I am also looking forward to the air-conditioned hotel. :-)

Check out the image I first saw when I exited the Metro – talk about a big arena. The Ancient Romans always loved to impress.
