The rest of the trip was things that I wanted to see, but wasn't required to by school. It was still educational, but more relaxing at the same time...
This is the city of Pompeii. In 79AD the volcano you see in the background erupted and a poisons gas blown from the wind landed in the city, killing everyone. The city later was covered with 25ft of ash. This is what still remains.
You can see how this guy was trying to protect himself with his hands raised.
On to Capri from there, which is now one of my favorite places on Earth! Bella means beautiful in Italian. I went on a boat tour around the island, seeing many caves, people swimming in the bright blue water, yachts everywhere. Celebrities are often spotted here. My friend on the tour saw Leonardo DiCaprio and Naomi Campbell. 
Back to Rome for a couple days. Tried to go to a few more art galleries but they were closed for the holiday. Swimming along the Tiber River today and fly home tomorrow. Gracie (Thank you) to Wayne State University for giving me this amazing opportunity to experience the art and culture of Italy. I plan on returning one day! :)
