sorrento

After a long day of travel (over an hour with which had no air conditioning) we arrived in Sorrento yesterday afternoon. We were so excited upon seeing that our hotel has a huge pool. After throwing down our backpacks in our room we immediately got out of our sweaty clothes, put on our swim suits and headed to the pool to cool off (ahhh.) Refreshed, we then took a nice walk to the center of Sorrento and found a tasty restaurant to enjoy dinner. Downtown Sorrento is full of tourists, restaurants, shops, and piazzas. It is also a coastal town so the view of sorrento and from sorrento is beautiful (like cinque terre the city is built on a seaside cliff.) During dinner our restuarant was serenaded by a musical quartet (joshs term.)

This morning we took a super fun (jens term) and tasty cooking class. We assisted in making fried mini pizzas, home made ravioli stuffed with 3 kinds of cheese, so called crazy water fish, and tiramisu for dessert. Jens favorite part of the cooking class was sneaking bites of the tiramisu while preparing it. Joshs favorite parts were sprinkling cheese on the pizza and finishing jens wine. We have had some great food but making it ourselves turned this 4 course meal into one of the most enjoyable we have had so far. Cooking in a nice kitchen with A/C was also a nice change from roaming around in the heat sightseeing.

Tomorrow we will be getting up early and heading to Pompeii...We will tell you more about that soon....

p.s. Cant believe we will be home in a week!
