Rone doing crazy things? Man, what a strange dream.

If not to me, then ignore everything just stated. Bu, in that case, the latter might be moot. :)
Oh know; I was wondering if we do IV or V.
so we post here still i guess.

I'm in Sorrento right now, and it's beautiful. Everything looks right down over the cliffs into the Bay of Naples (full of ridiculously huge yachts), there's flowering gardens everywhere, and the weather is fantastic.
On Friday we went to the Greek temples at Paestum. They're out of the way, and most tourists don't go there. It almost felt like we had the place to ourselves, yet it contains one of the 3 best preserved Greek temples anywhere. Awesome.
Yesterday we want to Herculaneum and Pompeii. We went to Pompeii second, and there were just too many tourists. It was hard to make the city feel alive. But Herculaneum is somewhat better preserved, and less popular (and smaller) - that was an amazing site to see. I figured we would have to see most things from a bit of a distance, but you can actually walk right into most of the buildings, with the mosaic floors beneath your feet and many of the frescoes still intact. I highly recommend Herculaneum in particular to anyone with an interest in ancient Rome.
Hmm. I'm not sure what else I have to report. I hope everyone is doing well!
When do the pictures of classical antiquity start going up?

Working on it. I have like a bajillion. I'm going to start putting them on FB. (Hopefully one day this week.)

Also, across the street from the little apartment in Pescara that we moved into this week, there is a LGS. Seriously. An Italian RPG store right across the street. I didn't think I would ever even see such a thing in this country. I have yet to see an RPG book in any bookstores (and I've been in some huge ones) so this little shop caught me completely off-guard. I tried to check it out Thursday night, but they had closed for the evening. I am going to check it out this coming week, and see if they will let me take a picture or two to share with all of you.
