Amalfi Coast!

Just finalized a somewhat impromptu trip to the Amalfi Coast today!  We will be leaving tomorrow on a train to Naples at around 4:30 and I cannot wait to get there.  I imagine most people probably don't know what the Amalfi Coast is (I didn't before I got here), but it's the coastal area around Naples, you can google it if you want... from what I hear, it's one of the most beautiful places on earth.  People may have heard of the island of Capri; that is part of the Amalfi Coast.  The hostels in the area are extremely cheap and they're in great locations.  Ours is very close to the shore, and we are only paying about 15 euros each per night (they make you pay per person, not per room). We will also be visiting Pompeii, which is in the Amalfi Coast area, and we'll be climbing Mt. Vesuvius.  That may be the part I'm most looking forward to.  Of course, the beach areas aren't too shabby either, the water looks impossibly blue.  Don't expect any updates until I get back on Sunday night, but I'll definitely take plenty of pictures.  Here are a few I found on the internet... pretty awesome huh?
