Picture captions/descriptions!

So you may be thinking to yourself, "Wow Laura, these pictures are
exquisite, but I don't even know what the hell is going on, nor do I
know where you are!"

Yes, yes, i understand. So I am here to clear things up and provide
some explanations for each of the pictures! For the sake of ease we
will go in chronological order, or, from bottom picture-to top
picture.

Pic1: Welcome to Sitges, Spain! Here is the little city we graced our
presence with for one night! Beautiful beaches, great people and an
awesome night out! Nicole-Sophie-Laura

Pic2: FLAMENCO. Yes, I know, the lady on the left looks like Janice
Dickinson. On this night, we went to a Flamenco night with dinner
provided by SAS. Outstanding dancing, singing and food. Janice Dickinson-Man

Pic3: Our last day in Sitges. We were headed back to Barcelona with
all our bags and stumbled upon a rugby game and decided to take one
last picture in front of our beautiful beach. Nicole-Sophie-Laura

Pic4: The Park Guell This place was an awesome sign and there were mosaics everywhere. This was the place we biked to all up hill in the blistering hot sun. (see blog named, Barcelona! Hola!)

Pic5: We are now out of Spain and on to Italy. Two trains and i few long walks later, we have just arrive in the first town in Cinque Terra called Riomaggiore. Laura-Nicole-Sam-Tifany

Pic 6: After another form of transportation: water taxi, we were finally where we were sleeping for the night in Vernazza. In effort to explore we found countless beautiful viewpoints like this one! Please excuse the shiny faces, it's been a long hot day of traveling and exploring . Nicole-Laura

Pic7: Next morning we woke up in Cinque Terra and hiked back from Vernazza (fourth city) to Riomoaggiore (first city). It was a long hike and once again, blistering hot, but the views were spectacular and it was an awesome time. And we met some more SAS students on the way!

Pic8: ROME! St. Peter's Basilica, this day was full of sightseeing and it was all beautiful!

Pic9: Naples, Italy. Now was this before, or after we got chased by 13 year old boys...ohh right, it was before. That is why we are all so happy and not haggard looking. Went out to dinner this night and watched a beautiful sunset from our restaurant while drinking 3 euro half liters of great house wine. Laura-Nicole-Morgan-Lauren-Paisley-Kelsie

Pic10: Welcome to Pompeii. An awesome historical sight preserved since 79AD when it was nearly ruined by the volcanic eruption of the still active, Mt. Vesuvius. Nicole-Laura

Pic11: The view from the chairlift ride to the tippy top of the city of Capri

Pic12: From the top of the mountain, sitting above the clouds. Mike-Morgan-Emily-Lauren-Nicole-Laura-Jeff

Pic13: Croatia! On our island of Lokrum, just outside of Dubrovnik.

Pic14: The first day in Dubrovnik, looking of the pier. Tiffany-Sophie-Nicole-Laura-Sam-Kristy

Pic15: Kelsie and Laura attemping to Paddle Board. It's harder than it looks but its definitely worth trying if you ever get the chance. Eventually you are suppsed to stand up....we hadn't quite gotten there yet.

Pic16: The Island of Lokrum, these guys were everywhere! I think i may have taken about 100 pictures that day, and about 70 of them are of peacocks.

Pic17: From the boardering city walls of Dubrovnik, this is the view down on to the pier.

Thanks for keeping up with me everyone! I know is been a while but Dubrovnik blog is coming! See ya later!
P.S. shoot me emails too!! i love getting them! alexa117@mail.chapman.edu
