Done with finals and off to Capri!

Once finals were over, we were all ready for a major break in Capri. But naturally, the education didn't stop in Rome! Our first stop before Capri was Pompeii, which was an amazing sight to see. On the way in we saw all the garbage in Naples from the big strike, and that was a bit sad to see so much waste everywhere. As usual, nothing was quite the way I pictured it. Here are the photos and more explanations about my last weekend with the whole crew. Look at the size of those lemons! Tony giving us a rundown on Pompeii.


One of the mummified bodies from Pompeii. It was pretty gritty.





We arrived in Capri later that day after a short ferry ride. Then we had to take a Funicular up the hill to get to where we were staying.

Unfortunately, it POURED down rain one of the days we were in Capri, so to pass the time, we had a toga party. As you can see, we are trying to replicate Michelangelo's "The Touch" in this photo.

The group dressed in Toga's. Sadly some people were already passed out at this point so we didn't get the whole gang in this picture.
Here we are at the group pizza party in our hotel. It's official: Naples definitely has some of the best pizza in the world. Coma and I also made a giant caprese salad for everyone.


During our day without rain, we went to the top of the mountain in Capri and we had to ride a chairlift to get there. There were beautiful views of the island.

We also went to this church (I forgot its name, but that's only because I am still very, very jetlagged) and the entire floor was made out of beautiful painted tiles. It reminded me of my mom. Too bad I couldn't rip one of the tiles off the floor to bring home to her.


We also had to check out the Blue Grotto. It was amazing - and also amazingly hard to get a good picture in there. I wished the water was warm enough to swim in!

The chairlift and amazing view that came along with it.
Chrissy and I had a mock photo shoot at the top of the mountain. Here are our best "model faces" we were about to crack up the whole time.

Last but not least, this was in Rome before leaving Capri. My friend Alexis recommended this weird restaurant by the train station. She said, "It's kind of weird inside, it almost looks like a toy store, but you have to eat there because it is delicious." To my surprise, I went in and there was Disney stuff everywhere! Just another Jen moment abroad.
