Elizabeth's thoughts

Seven days until we're on the plane to Rome! I'm not really looking forward to it, but I'm looking forward to a few things. The first thing is their gelato. Gelato is Italian ice cream and it's really good! My Dad said his favorite is strawberry, so I want to try it. The next thing is the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Pompeii is a Roman town that existed long ago. One day Mount Vesuvius, a volcano, erupted. The town had no warning so many people died, frozen like statues in ash. Archeologists have discovered the ruins. I have read lots about it and I really want to go. Now is my chance! That is all for now, but I am sure I will be looking forward to more when I get there!
