Capri and Rome . . . .

We have not had the internet in days, it has been tough!  Well, we had it, but they wanted me to pay too many Euros, so I refused!  But, we are back, and here is a little update on what has been going on the last couple of days!  We went to this beautiful island of Capri, Italy!  Some people took the journey to the top of the island, by foot, or by gondola.  Others went and saw the "Blue Grotto".  It was amazing, you take a boat, and it takes you to some row boats that take you in a little cave, and all the water is so, so blue!  It is amazing!  Then we jumped in the bus for a long 4 hour ride to Rome!  

We won our 3rd game, 2-0!  The girls are looking good!  In Rome we saw the Colosseum, it is one of my favorite things in Rome! We also saw the Spanish Steps, not sure why they are important, and we went to Trevi Fountain, and of course the Pantheon, it is also important in some way :)  Today we went and saw the Vatican, and the Sistine Chapel.  Did you know, that Michealangelo did not even like to paint, so they put jail for 4 months, and he learned how to be an artist, then he was inside the Sistine Chapel for 4 years until he finished painting it!  It is beautiful, he also had a crooked neck for the rest of his life!  

We won our last game tonight 3-0, and it was our seniors last game.  So, it was happy game, because we won, but sad because it was their last game!  They will be missed!  We are now in Florence, and will be here for 2 days!  More adventures tomorrow, and now I am going to bed, because it is really late in Italy!  Goodnight, until tomorrow!  By the way, I tasted this new Fanta drink over here, I thought for sure that it had alcohol in it, it was so nasty!  But, it was just a bitter fruit :)
