Herculaneum is just as cool as Pompeii.. maybe even a little more awesome…
Ercolano What a gloriously sunny and hot day to venture to Herculaneum. We decided to see Herculaneum instead of Pompeii. Why? Well, while Pompeii is synonymous with Italy and Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum, I had never heard of until Whitney told me about it. Originally our plans were to go to Vesuvius and then Herculaneum. It […]

Meta
Meta Not quite Naples, not quite Sorento, but in between. How amazing that we could stay on both the coasts of Italy and experience such a difference in coastlines. We drove from Matera, what a drive. OMG. I tell you, driving in a different country has given me perspective on just trying to stay in […]

A day in San Marino

Poppi
Poppi. Who knew? We were going to be driving for a while on day three from Pisa to San Marino, FYI that is a small country in Italy. We wanted to avoid the expensive toll roads as much as possible and a couple hours drive was not too bad right? Ugg, it was a long […]
