good morning

its 5:53am and i am in naples. our overnight bus - which left from Florence at 11pm - got in early. although only like by a half hour. we were supposed to get here at 6. luckily, the guy at our hostel was really nice and opened up the common room for us, so becky and i can sleep, watch a movie, or go on the internet. so here i am!

i'm excited about naples, but also nervous. its supposed to be a pretty shady town. but afterall, we are basically making this city our homebase, and branching out to the surrounding areas on our days. for instance, today we are going to Capri. its going to be fabulous. then we'll head over to Pompeii and Herculeum and Mt. Vesuvius too. woot. for some reason i am highly energentic. i have no idea how that's possible. we sat in the very front of the bus and so i couldnt stretch out my legs. which didnt seem so bad at first, but they sort of cramped out. and unfortunately the girl sitting across the aisle from us got bus sick and ended up puking in a plastic bag. yuck.

speaking of puking...

good transition right? lol. i got some sort of food poisioning on monday. it was horrible. i spent the better part of my night (11pm to 8am) in the bathroom. ugh. luckily mom and ann were there to take care of me the next day.

okay...i think i am going to try to crash on a couch in here for a couple hours. our guy at the front desk said he would let us check in at 8 am. score.
