For Spring Break this year, we decided to go to Italy! This has been my dream vacation since my family lived there before I was born :) We had an amazing time as we explored for about a week! Naples/Pompeii/Vesuvius We primarily stayed in Rome, however, we did take a day trip down to Naples so we could hike Mt. Vesuvius and walk around Pompeii. It was a sunny clear day, which made for perfect weather to hike in! Because it was so clear, we had an incredible view all the way up and at the top of the hike.

We mainly stayed in Delhi, but we did take a day trip to Agra as well. Hauz Khaz Village We spent some time on the first day walking around Hauz Khaz village which has religious monuments dating back to the 14th century. It was super cool to walk around these old ruins and look at the architecture and nature surrounding all of it! (Side note: We also learned the correct way to pronounce Himalayas. Instead of hi-MALAY-as (the way you probably jus
