Easter

Easter is shockingly similar in Italy. We have a six-day break from school for the holiday. Italians also paint and hide eggs, though the Easter bunny is a little less heard-of. I went to an Easter vigil with friends at 10:30 Saturday night. Easter, my family took me to Nora, Italy, an excavation site in southern Sardinia. Excavators have discovered ruins from the both the Roman age (the city is thought to be the first Roman city) and remains from the Phoenicians, from which the name Sardegna came from. We also took a cave tour and hiked up to the top of castle on a very high hill. A very fun day, though I got a little car sick with the narrow roads and drastic curves.
