My Fourth of July consisted of a reindeer hot dog, a bit of walking, a chair exhibition and a nap. Not bad at all.
Matt met me in Milan on Monday with roses and a bottle of prosecco. Not bad after I traveled from 7.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. I walked, took a bus, plane, train, bus, plane, bus and walked. I was tired and kept asking myself if I was there yet.
Yesterday was a travel day and we flew to Naples. Today we visited Pompeii. Pretty amazing in person, especially after seeing the site in art history textbooks the past few years.
Did I forget to mention that last Friday was my last day of college? I am done with my second bachelor-s degree.
We are eating amazing pasta, pizza and gelato...and the wine is cheaper than water. Though we have been enjoying the H2O "with gas" and also drinking a lot of regular tap water. We have yet to contract the Italian version of Montezuma-s Revenge so I think we should be fine.
Before dinner we visited a fountain designed by Bernini and found the street with the "presepi" or nativity scenes. I cannot wait to set up the new one at Christmas.
Tomorrow we are hitting up the island of Capri before heading to Rome.
Matt, wine, gelato, art...life is good.

P.S. Matt signed a lease. We get back on Tuesday/Wednesday and moving on Friday. Life is nothing but bold steps.
