Hello from Sorrento!

Hi everyone this is Mrs. Brooks! We're soo sorry that we have not been on the blog! It must be the nonstop trip we are on. As I write now, most of the group is getting gelato for at least the fourth time in the past two days. Today we learned how to hike and we learned Italian nature looks like up close and personal, we were greeted with 'are you Americans?' and the Italian answer to us was 'Yes we can!'. After that exciting encounter we were back on mini-vans to be greeted by our Italian grandmother in Pompeii. She quickly learned all the names, starting with Brad and Chad and continuing on with the rest of the boys, and Abby. Brittany got a special shoutout from mama-pompeii.

Everyone is looking forward to bed!! and tomorrow is boat day around Capri! We are hoping for nice weather and have all ready hired a small boat that will take us around. Mr. Porto has all ready bought 3 snow globes and is looking for his 4th at Capri tomorrow! We are all happy and doing very well. Our special news is that the day after tomorrow we have arranged to hike to the top of Mt. Vusius. We hope it does not blow and if it doesn't explode on us we will be returning with volcano rocks. Hope to be blogging more soon! Still the easiest way to reach us is to call the hotel and ask for your students name. You should do so at around 10'00 PM our time, which is around 4'00 Pm for all you still in Rochester. We hope to put pictures on soon. Don't worry, the whole group is doing very well. Cìao!
-Mrs.Brooks
