Hello hello,

Day 7

We are in southern Italy. The port we docked in has it's Italian name in "That's Amore"
Here's the beginning to get you started.

When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie
That's amore!
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
That's amore!

If you don't know this whole song like I do, you may have to look it up.

10 points: Name the city we docked in.

We drove along the amalfi coast. There was so much winding I felt really sick. Those of you who have ever been in a long car ride w/ me where I wasn't driving know that's not a good thing. Although I didn't lose breakfast, I felt horrible. When we stopped in Amalfi, it took me at least 30 mins to start to feel better. :(

Along our drive, we visited the town of Sorrento and went to this furniture maker place that showed us how chair and table wood inlaid veneers are made. I love Sorrento because of the Lemons. They are used to make one of my favorite liquors to drink.

10 Points: Name the yummy nectar made from Sorrento Lemons.

We went to the city immortalized under tons of volcanic ash and pumis.

10 Points: Name the Volcano that errupted

10 Points: Name the city that was buried (I know there's more than one... But I think y'all know which one I'm talking about, but if u give me the other city I'll still give you credit

We visited a lupanare while in the city. There were like 25 of them throughout the city. Interesting...

10 Points: What is a lupanare?
Bonus question #1: What did they order there?
Bonus question #2 How did they order it? (Hehehe)
Bonus question #3: How did the patrons of this city (and others) find the lupanares??
All bonus questions are 5 points each! :)


Random fact of the day:
We learned that Best Western in Italy is a four star hotel chain, but not so much in the US.. Go figure!
