Hey everyone, this will be kinda short since I don't have much time. Also, there aren't any apostrophes so bear with me... Well today I started out with three other people from my hostel but we got separated so it was just me and this guy from Calfornia. We went to some of the same places I went to yesterday but then we got kind lost for a long time and ended up way outside the tourist part of town, near some stadium...and plus our hostel is quite far from the center of town so its always a long trip.
I am not sure I saw everywhere that I should see, but I saw a good amount of stuff and have a ton of nice photos so Im satisfied. But I wasn't able to get into any galleries because it was at least a two hour wait. I could stay another day if I wanted but Im eager to get to Rome and the Amalfi Coast. Also, I accidentally deleted some messages (comments?) before I could read them so Im sorry, I am not a pro with the travel log yet. I love the comments though so keep commenting! :) Anyways, I cant imagine how hot it must be in Naples, etc cuz its really hot here, maybe 100 degrees or so. I haven't really had any amazing Italian food yet but the gelato was definitely amazing. I bought a wallet.
P.S. The spell checker fixed the apostrophe problem!

Wowee, wow, wow!
Ben- I am sooo jealous! But waaah that you didn't get in to the galleries. I was really counting on living vicariously through your trip to the Uffizi. Now who will I live through? Anyways- what an adventure you're having! We really admire your gutsiness in taking on this trip and all the exciting experiences and challenges it entails. What a terrific opportunity for growth. (I sound like your mom!) Congratulations on the wallet. I hope you are left with something to put in it! Well- have fun and be good. We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers! Love, Val

Hey Ben,
Good to hear all is well...sorry about those damn slimy Italians.
