Today we went on a fun little trip (6 hours total driving). The trip was to Pompeii. On the way, we passed through the city of Naples. I, myself, would have liked to stay in Naples a little longer than 1 hour. While in Naples, I saw a store that had a big POKEMON sign on it (for Isaac and Brian). After that, we drove to New Pompeii Town and saw (after a lunch of spaghetti, meat, and very good oranges) the ruins of Pompeii. There we saw what was left of the village. We were able to see Mt. Vesuvius. Mt. Vesuvius is the only active volcano on the main land of Europe. Once we reached our hotel, me and Dad (aka Michael) went to go get dinner. For dinner, we had paninis, Mom (Nancy) also got a salad. We can't wait to see all of you. Until next time, this is "Radio Christian." Tune in tomorow for a special brodcast of the next site in Rome that we will visit.  Ciao!
