Italy
I went to Italy to visit MsThang - we had a great time. I just got home last night.
I've never been out of the United States before, this was my first trip and I had a blast.
First - we spent three days in Rome - it was rainy, and we walked our tails off - but it was historical and beautiful, and just all around amazing. We saw the Collesium, and some churches, statutes, old buildings, tons of cars - that new little smart car was all over the place - I loved that thing - everytime I saw one it made me laugh - it looks like a toy.
We took one creepy cab ride - the driver kept looking at MsThangs legs the whole time, he wouldn't watch the road at all. We were both glad to get outta there!
We took a train from Rome to Naples - my first train ride. It was nice, the scenery was beautiful.
We spent the rest of the week in Gricignano (I don't know if that's how you spell it - I'm guessing) on the Navy base. but went out into the City in the evenings. We went through Sorrento, to Positano, which was by far my favorite - it was beautiful http://www.fortunecity.com/littleitaly/amalfi/84/# check it out!
We ate in a wonderful restaurant there, I had some kind of potato dumplings in a tomato sauce, followed by grilled sausage, we started out with bruschetta, and these fried potato and cheese things - I believe they were called croquette di patati.
It was all very good.
There's lots more to tell - I'll be back soon to fill you in on the rest.....
