Last weekend was our four day weekend and it was fantastic. All of last week I looked forward to Friday and it was perfect, as expected. I slept in and when I woke up, I rolled back over and fell asleep again. After repeating this until I started feeling antsy, I got up and went for a walk before eating breakfast/lunch and watching Big Bang Theory for a few hours. Then, I went to get a much-needed haircut before going for a lovely row in the rain. We're not supposed to be on the water when it is thundering or lightening-ing but it was just sprinkling while I was out. I love rowing in the rain because no one else is on the water and you can see the raindrops making tiny splashes in the water all around you. It was especially nice because we didn't technically have practice so I could go at my own pace.
Then my family and I went to dinner at my Grandparents' house and my Grandmother and I researched cruises. We decided to postpone our trip to the summer after my freshmen year of college so that I could spend this summer at home and we chose which cruise we'll be going on. It starts in Venice, where we will stay for a day or two, and goes to 5 other cities before docking in Rome, where we will also spend a few days. After staying in Rome, we will take a train to Naples and, from there, we will go to Pompeii. This is what sold me on the cruise. Seeing Rome and Venice and the cities in between sounded amazing but getting to see Pompeii sounds especially exciting to me. I have watched documentaries about Pompeii and seeing the remains of the people who died while being covered in lava sounds interesting and profound. I can't wait. Too bad we postponed the cruise until next summer.
