Today after school Matt, Albert, Christine, Justine and I went to Vips which is a restaurant similar to Denny’s. It’s right across the street from our school and it’s relatively inexpensive. After lunch Matt, Albert and I took the metro to a huge park called Casa de Campo where there are public pools at a facility called Instalación Deportiva Municipal Casa de Campo. The entrance fee is €4.35 but it’s well worth it to escape the heat and just relax. There is a large outdoor pool in the center with various grass areas all around it. The areas are covered with trees offering both sun and shade. There is also a snackbar where you can buy cold beer and other items. All in all we had a nice couple hours resting and cooling off at the pool and enjoying the tranquil environment.
Matt and I will be leaving for Venice tomorrow morning. We will arrive at 9 AM and have the entire day and night in Venice. We will leave the next morning at 10 AM to fly into Naples (on the Italian coast) and then we’ll take the Circumvesuviana train from Naples to Sorrento. We are staying at the
Seven Hostel in a little town right outside of Sorrento called Sant’Agnello. I am really bummed because the weather forecast isn’t looking too good. It says that tomorrow night there will be thunder showers and an 81º high. Friday it is supposed to be sunny with a high of 84º and thunder showers are expected on Saturday and Sunday. We’ll see how it goes. It should be fun nevertheless.

What fun, Laila! We really enjoy your stories and photos. Summer has definitely arrived in Europe - Holland has also changed and has been HOT the last few days - get out your shorts! Strand Scheveningen is really fun for a "cool out" day.
Continue making lasting memories!
