But to get caught up, I spent this weekend in the Amalfi Coast. It was really fantastic. It just made me realize for the thousandth time how I am living in a fairy tale. Sitting on the beach of the Mediterranean, visiting Naples, Capri, Amalfi and Pompeii I couldn't believe I was there. Although it was a test of my motion sickness endurance. We were on a bus through the mountains for hours--numerous times and LOTS of boats. And not all of the boats were big. One was a little speed boat in the water, where we were tossed around. My professor even asked if I was okay, because I looked green. I thought for sure the weekend would be full of me being sick, but I as very lucky and never became sick. It was completely worth it, because I have never seen such beautiful places.
I will write more specifics with the pictures I post, it is better when I describe things with the photos, I feel like it is a more interesting and easy to understand story. So I will hopefully be posting those in a day or two. But just check back for the photos, they are gorgeous!

hi stacey,
fun post. and i love the photos you've put up. how long does it take you to drink a beer that big? can i make a request for a posting? would you let us all know how the election is covered over there in november? and can you grab some of the newspapers and magazines to bring back to us? we're all getting pretty sick of politics over here right now. it's like being in the ninth month of a pregnancy. enough already! but, our journalism students and instructors are very interested to see what reaction the rest of the world has to our big decision. i already voted absentee, just so i could get it over with. also, they are predicting record turnout and maybe troubles and long waits at some polling places (oh huzzah!), so i wanted to get in while i could.
best,
prof. blachford
