Getting ready for Italy

I am happy that we are going to Italy but I am also sad that I am going to leave my friends in kindergarten. But I'll come back next year. The exciting thing about Italy is that I can make new friends. But the not so exciting part is that they don't speak English. The happy part is that I'm going to have three beds in my new room in Rome. And the sad part is that Mount Vesuvius erupted a long time ago and people died...but not very many. Some went away from Mount Vesuvius and never died, until they were old enough to. We saw a Pompeii exhibit and I have a book about Pompeii that starts when the earthquake began to the death of Pompeii. These people did not have TV or radio so they never knew when Mount Vesuvius would erupt. After Italy, I am going to get a pet bunny.
