Back in Sansepolcro

I hope no one judges my writing skills based on this blog. I just read over the quick one I wrote yesterday and it was the most choppy thing I have ever read. I am always rushing when I post because I have to pay at the internet cafe and the computer at the Servi is horribly slow and everyone is waiting for it.

As I said yesterday, Rome was a lot of fun. We traveled from Arrezo to Naples and then caught a local train from Naples to Sorrento. The Naples train station left quite a bit to be desired. We heard a lot of bad stories about Naples so I think all of us were on guard. The local train from Naples to Sorrento was very interesting. We were packed in for the first half of the trip. We had on our packs and just had to stand for a while. The train made a lot of stops so people kept getting out and had to climb over us because so many people were in the way. I saw some people get up from a seat and I went to sit down. Unfortunately some Italian teenagers saw the same three seats open up. I sat down but then I got wedged against the window. I sat next to a very affectionate couple (this tends to be the trend in Italy). She sat in his lap and their friend sat across from them. Not only did they kiss, they also smelled horribly. It was not a fun train ride to say the least! We finally made it to Sorrento and our hostel was pretty nice. All of us had a bed but it was definitely a squeeze. It worked thought because we were only in there to sleep and take a shower. We went out to dinner that night at the cutest little place. The hostel recommended it and because we were staying at the hostel, we got 10 percent off! We split a bottle of wine and got dinner. It was delicious. It was nice to sit and relax for a while.

The next day we went to Capri. We woke up early to take a ferry over to the Island. It had stormed the night before and it was pretty cloudy that day. When we woke up it was raining but it turned out being an okay day. It only sprinkled for a bit in the morning. Because of the weather though, the seas were a little rough. We got on this big jet boat to take us to the island and we got a little seasick. The boat looked like a really nice, wide airplane on the inside. We could see crew members running around with bags because aparently, we were not the only ones feeling sick. I fortunately did not get sick. I thought Sal was going to beacuse she was completely white when we stood to get of the boat. My friend Katie who had been fine the whole trip stood up and started to feel sick. We had to go down a flight of steps into the bottom of the boat and on the way down, Katie felt it coming. The crew member grabbed her and stuck her head outside of a little door onto the outside deck of the sick where she vomited her breakfast. It was pretty funny because she felt fine right after. The crew memeber was so nice and rubbed her back as she vomited down the side of his boat. We had to wait in the bottom of the boat as they got ready to dock and we watched as another crew member brought a hose to clean it all up. I just thought you might enjoy that story as much as I did.

Capri was beautiful even though it was cloudy. We took a chairlift up to the top and it was amazing. It was like a ski life but you were in a chair by yourself. It takes 12 minutes going up and then you get off and get to see the most beautiful views ever. The top of the mountain was freezing.

I would tell you all more but I have to run to my Family dinner!!! I am pretty excited. Hope all is well in good ole America.
