Hotel Donatello, Rome, Italy

Nap before going out for New Years

New Year's Eve Night Rome

Fontana Di Trevi

We found these fountains right after our first Italian pizza experience

People dancing on walls?

I think we were somewhere near the spanish step here.
There were tons of people all around downtown. People threw firecrackers
around at people, behind them and on cars. The ones hitting cars sometimes
set off the car alarms.

Metro New Year's Eve

Look at this little car we saw on the walk from the Metro to the Hotel

Saturday, New Years Day, the Big Walk

We were told the metro was closed till 4PM.

Porta Maggiore

S. Croce in Gerusalemme

Train Ride to Naples

Archiological Museum, Naples

This Museum was great. There are only a few pictures
because we were yelled at for taking them.
This museum had mummies and a bunch of artifacts
It would of been better had we gotten the audio guide
because most of the information on stuff was in Italian.

Walk back from Museum

Rick Loves Castels, more pictures of this one to come

Tuesday, January 4th

Bus to Pompeii

Pompeii

Here we got the audio guide which is a little
box that you punch in the number of the location
you are at and it tells you about it. Well worth
the money. They had a suggested 4 hours tour
the we did in about 3 hours.
