Leaving the Albanian 100 Year Anniversary celebrations, we flew to Rome. A colleague of Peter's in the Albania office, lives in Rome with his family. He accompanied us and we packed in 18 hours of sight seeing. Angelo is a fount of knowledge about art history, history and literature. He also spouts Greek and knows the height of everything in the city. What an architectural stock of buildings they have!

Day 2 we rented a car and drove south to Pompeii and Amalfi Coast
August 24th, AD 79 the volcano from Mt. Vesuvius erupted and within 17 hours, 25 meters of volcanic ash reigned down on this city, killing 2,000 people. The silver lining was that this ash preserved the mosaics, walls, fountains, pillars and even bodies for 1500 years.
We drove the dramatic and gorgeous Amalfi Coast, finding a sweet hotel with a view of the Mediterranean. Check out the tower at the point. It is called the Clavel Tower!
