Vesuvius and all the Jazz

I really need to get this off my chest.  I am going to the Amalfi Coast this weekend and am elated to some nth degree.  I get to see Sorrento, a top notch archaeological museum in Napoli, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Mount Vesuvius, and Capri!  Ah!  I can barely contain my jubilation.  I am also kind of scared, but here's to hoping it rocks.  I really want to listen to Sufjan Stevens' song, "Vesuvius" while I hike it from this album.  I hope it works out because that would be dang awesome!!  Well here's to hoping for an awesome time.  I hope things are going quite swimmingly across the pond.  I've had my ups and downs but it seems to be going alright as of now.  My Italian midterm is behind me and it's nothing but travels on my own for the next couple of days.  The lone wolf out on his own!  Which reminds me distinctly of one of my favorite new italian sayings.  When one prepares for a large examination one exclaims: "In bocca lupa" (meaning in the mouth of the wolf)  People respond "Crepi" which means it died!  How great!  The following photograph is the beginning of a fantastic meal I had just after a fantastic service at Santa Croce  Enjoy and   Buon weekend!
