I\u2019ve fallen behind on my online journaling. \u00a0(I know, I know. \u00a0Millions are lamenting it. \u00a0I\u2019ve heard their cries.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today is a sea day \u2014 which I frankly like. \u00a0I love being out on the ocean. \u00a0Viking genes, maybe. \u00a0The only thing that marred the day\u00a0for our group was my two-hour morning lecture on \u201cPeter, Paul, and the Popes,\u201d in which I tried to explain something of the history of Christianity, in broad outlines, from the death of the apostles through the Council of Nicea in the early fourth century to the emergence of the papacy (roughly) as we know it today. \u00a0Riveting, of course. \u00a0It seemed relevant after our visit on Wednesday to Rome, Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter\u2019s Basilica.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, having landed in Salerno, we spent two and a half hours walking about in Pompeii. \u00a0Then we drove through Sorrento and Positano and along the Amalfi Coast, with a nice lunch and shopping stop in Amalfi itself.<\/p>\n
