March 27 11:59am | Pompeii Pompeiian version of the pedestrian bridge. Spaced so that horse drawn carts can pass through. Stepping stones allow water to drain, and still provide areas for people to cross the street. I just like them because they're shaped like Hostess Twinkies. |

March 27 4:02pm | Sorrento: Dr. Evil A very dangerous house to live in if you're a sleepwalker. Very James Bond evil villainy. I'm certain there is a secret elevator hidden behind a grandfather clock that takes you to the underwater cave where the submarine is moored. Sorrento: grand hotel la pace Peach trees in bloom outside the window. Perfect for dreaming about bellini's. |
