Capri Memory

So its been close to a century since I last posted. The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy with travel a small Internet crisis and the stealing of my beloved bicycle. I have decided to finish my spring break experiences with this post. Something short to hold you hungry barbarians at bay until i can really post about cinque (for the second time) and Prague.

Ceaser doing he thing

The day after Marcus and I hit Pompeii, we took a ferry to the island of Capri. Capri has been a resort island for thousands of years. The first settlements pre-date the Romans and Etruscans. I must say, whomever first decided to row their mammoth skin, saber tooth bone canoe to Capri might have been pre-homo sapiein but had excellent taste for a pre modern human. Capri got its infamous name from the Roman  emperor Nero who had his giants booze filled sex romps at this royal Villa on Capri. Also another emperor who loved capri so much he decided to move the imperial headquarters to capri for the duration of his rule.

Now my last paragraph presents a valuable lesson; if your name in the history books throw an crazy party, push a few slaves off a cliff, then have all your scribes there with plenty of papyrus to record that crap. ANYWAYS Capri was a nice day overall. The weather was kind and the views were awesome. It was some what of a difficult place to get around by foot but the hikes were worth it. We missed our chance at seeing one of the main attractions of the island the blue grotto (google it) but we didn't take it too hard. Paying some dude named Massimo 22 euro to take us into a giant cave didn't seem worth it. In the end Capri was a great day trip and would be a great place to visit for a while (only if your over the age of 60). Glad I saw, I can mark another world famous site off my list of "things to do in a timely manner"

Be heads up for future posts about cinque terre, prague and wherever i go this weekend, which is currently TBD

Speaking of history books. I turned 21 today. Mark it in your history books. 6th graders will read of my reconquest of the Italian peninsula in one night. It will be part of state curriculum for years to come

Since its a lack luster post I'll give you an exceptional song. check this heat
