We got to Naples yesterday - but I can't tell you anything about it because we didn't get to the hotel until almost midnight. Which is, actually probably around 6:00 pm Capeside time. That's weird, isn't it? I called Jack yesterday at like 10:00 at night and he had just gotten home from school. Okay, so maybe it isn't that weird but it's getting harder and harder to picture my old life in Capeside - school... friends... this all happened so fast that I didn't have much time to process leaving before I actually left! But anyway - I'm straying from the topic. I think it's because it's so hard to put the experience of visiting Pompeii into words. I don't think I could do it justice. We spent the whole day there - looking at the preserved ancient city that I'd read about for so many years. It made me think about how quickly things change... how unexpectedly. Like Tim. He was here and in an instant he was gone… without warning. My near-fatal accident at the Rave. My trip here. And now, looking at the tragedy that occurred here - the eruption of Mount Vesuvius left thousands dead in practically an instant. People just in the middle of living their lives. And that moment... that moment where everything changes has been preserved forever here. It's a chilling feeling. On that eerie note... I'll be seeing the city of Naples tomorrow and staying for 2 weeks. So I'll write as soon as I can…
Love,
Andie
