We then bussed to the resort town of Stressa on Lake Maggiore for our last two nights in Italy. Our hotel was the Hotel La Palma on the lake. This was the best hotel in the whole trip!!!<br />

It was "Arrivederci Montecantini" as we again packed our luggage and headed east to the ancient city of Ravenna. </div>

This city is so old no one knows for sure when it was founded. Some say it may predate Rome as an Etruscan city. We saw some amazing mosaics which are one reason Ravenna has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site.<br />

Up early this morning and left the hotel with all our bags at 7 AM. We said goodbye to Adam and Ida who returned to Israel. Adam still has a week of school left and he would have loved to stay with us.<br />

Our first visit on a bright sunny Sunday morning was appropriately to the mountain top Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. </div>

The old art work was amazing and the quaint town picture perfect. After lunch we headed out to Florence. Since the museums in Florence are closed on Monday we were fortunate to get an appointment to visit the Accademia Gallery which houses the famous Michaelangelo statue of David.<br />

After breakfast today we got started with serious sightseeing. We loaded our luggage and left Sorrento around 8:00 AM and got on our bus to Pompeii. It is a city in total ruins, but it does not take too much imagination to understand the splendor of this city before it was destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The fact that we could still see smoke arising from the top of the mountain made it all the more real. </div>

As we arrived in Pompeii it was raining and we had to all buy rain gear since very few of us brought it with us. After Pompeii we had a 4 hr drive to get to our hotel. We arrived at the hotel by 5:00 PM but didn't get checked in until 6 since we kept driving around looking for the front of the hotel.<br />

We arrived at the Hotel Tirrenta in Sorrento, our home for the next two nights. After being warned, we all struggled to remain awake until a normal bedtime so we would adjust more rapidly to the time change. Dinner was waiting for us in the hotel.<br />

I have to apologize for taking so long to update the blog, but I had no internet service until we reached Rome.

This is to set up our blog for our upcoming trip to Italy in June, 2015. We will be arriving in Naples on June 15th and I hope to keep this up as well as possible. I hope you will bare with me if I don't get a post done every night but it will depend on internet access and my energy level by the end of the day. Hope you will follow along with us.Harriet & Phyllishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16746521203058435346noreply@blogger.com0
