Today is my last day in Italy. We moved out of our hotel in Sorento in the morning and went to Mt. Vesuvius. I climbed to the top with the rest of the group, and the view from the top was stunning. We got back to the buss and went to an old Benedictine monastery called Monte Casino. It was really amazing, and there were some gorgeous statues and paintings there. We also got to sit in on a service of the monks, where they were practicing the traditional old Gregorian chants in Latin. After this we went back to the bus and went to our last hotel which is on the top ridge of a caldera lake. This view was the best on of the whole trip. Our tour guide said that the pope has a summer home up here. It is currently midnight, and I am exhausted. We leave in the morning at 3... this trip has been full of amazing things and I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to come. Goodnight from Rome for the last time.
