That trip looks sooooo interesting. TT_TT I'm so jealous. -longs to go to an European country-

It was really interesting =D It was cool, because I've never been to a Mediterranean country before. Mostly when I've been onto the continent it's to France and Belgium and those kind of places. Italy's quite like Portugal, though.

It's ok, I want to visit Canada and the US again. I think everyone longs to go someplace apart from where they are :D

OMG, I remember seeing those bodies in my Latin textbooks a few years ago when we did Pompeii.

They scarred me for life.

Glad you had a good time in Italy though =)

Maybe I'm just a freak, but I loved that bit. Seeing them for real was my favourite moment :D You could even make out the expressions on their faces - it was creepy, but so incredible. You don't see 2000 year old people every day. unless you live next door to michael douglas

Looks like you had a great time! Italy is such a fun country. I know the monks in the hooded robes threw me for a loop too. The first time I encountered that was in the Vatican Museum's library section when they were depicted on a reproduction of an illuminated document that was for sale. It was the charter for a monastic order. I'd have to go searching through old boxes to find the copy I purchased to get the details of which one. Just goes to show that in fashion everything old is new again and that even the most pure things can be distorted into something disgusting.

It is!! :DD Yeah, me and my friends were kinda shocked when we came across the pictures, but I remembered hearing about these monks before, and it said something about Saint Whoever underneath, so it was obvious what it was. Still, you just can't shake off the KKK connection... Frightening. Guess it's kinda like the Swastika being a Buddhist symbol of peace or whatever - when I saw one on the giant Buddha in Hong Kong I was so shocked, until my friend explained it to me...

Wow, I'd love to go visit something so amazing one day. Alas I don't think I'll be able to, so thank you for sharing your experience through the pictures. ^_____^

Alas I don't think I'll be able to
Don't say that!! I'm sure you'll be able to visit Italy some day :D You should take a round-Europe trip, or something. You can do that wuite cheaply if you work as you go, and it sounds quite exciting. A couple of my friends are doing something similar this summer...
