The Italian Job - redux


Back in Napoli, Italy now; the tour is winding down. I’ll wait until I’m back in Texas in a couple of weeks to give the big ‘reflective’ perspective of this journey. So in the meantime, I’m just enjoying the scenery.

Italy is great, but if you’ve been here you know that. And if you haven’t been here you should come. Great food and wine (I’ve had a lot of the latter lately), good weather and a lot to see. Been out in Naples proper a bit and been to Rome once thus far. Wow. They have a lot of old stuff here. Like 2000 yr old stuff…Saw the Coliseum and the Pope’s crib the other day. That’s a sweet place. The plan is to go back in a few days, with the family this time.

I’ve been told that just about every day here is some sort of holiday. Since this place has been inhabited for thousands of years, I believe it. And the nightly fireworks reinforce that assessment.

See the family tomorrow for the first time in months. It will be strange being together again…should be fun though.

Caio!
