Wednesday Morning--Slowing moving about the Villa

This week is going by so quickly! It's Wednesday already and even though we have seen some amazing things and had so much fun, the days seem to pass so quickly.
We left for Italy Friday, arrived Saturday, hung out close to home(Villa) & our small town on Sunday and had a wonderful dinner prepared by Carla(more on that later). Monday, Gina & David left for Rome for a couple of days, Stanage hung out at the villa; while Dick, Angie, Sally, Ron, Pam headed for Florence.
Tuesday Dick & Angie decided to spend a relaxing day at the Villa and drive to a couple of small hillside towns, while Ron, Pam, Sally, Stanage woke up at 4am and headed out for the day.
We drove to Florence to board a train to Rome. We said goodbye to Stanage, who headed on down to spend a day/night in Pompeii, while Ron, Pam, Sally met Gina & David for a guided day tour of Rome.
What a day! It was awesome!! We said goodbye to Gina & David who stayed in Rome and headed back to the villa. We arrived back at the villa about 1:30am.
Today (Wednesday) we will NOT be getting on a train! We are pretty darn tired & plan to spend the day in some hillside towns. Gina and David will return today, while Stanage will return on Thursday.

If anyone talks to Stanage, or anyone else is going to Pompeii, tell Stanage or them to check out the ruins at Herculeaen(Sp) , the little town beside Pompeii--it too was buried by volcano--has maybe even better ruins than Pompeii.
It is on the train route too.
