Going to Rome and Naples

Its Sunday afternoon and I am sitting in a bar with my dad and his "soccer friends" who are watching a game with Napoli against Bologna.  Dad wanted me to come watch a soccer game with him. Simona and mom stayed home because Simona has been missing a few days of school because she is sick. It was fun to watch dad and his friends argue over which team is the best. 

I decided to bring the iPad and write a blog.

Easter break is coming up soon and I am so excited, because we are going to Rome, Naples and, Pompeii. I am especially excited to go to Naples because my grandparents are going to be in Naples with us. 

The last time I was in Rome I was only 4 years old and I only remember the Trevi Fountain.  The Trevi Fountain is the biggest fountain in Rome. It is 85 feet high and 65 feet wide. The fountain was built in the mid-15th century and completed in 1762.  The Trevi Fountain sits in Piazza de Trevi close to Piazza Navona.  If you ever get a chance to go to Rome and see the Trevi Fountain remember to throw a coin into the fountain backwards, because if you get the coin in the fountain you are granted to come back to Rome again.    

This time when we go to Rome, we will go visit St. Peter's Basilica which is where the Pope says masses. It is supposed to be very beautiful. In Rome I have a cousin named Jennifer who came with us to Barcelona, I can't wait to see her. The night that we arrive I am going to her house for a sleepover.......I am so excited!    

I have never been to Naples but I am very excited to go. Dad tells me it's a fun and chaotic city.........and that the pizza and mozzarella di buffalo are great.    We will also visit Pompeii for one day, which should be interesting. Dad has been to Pompeii, he says that when we go we will see people covered in lava and we will also see Mt. Vesuvius which erupted in 79 A.D.  After our trip my grandparents will come back to Nice and stay with us for 3 or 4 weeks!
