Mia Famiglia

-

No words can describe how I feel when I'm with my Italian family.  They welcome us with open arms and with their whole heart. As always the food is excellent and they treated Janice, Jim and I to one of my favorites - spaghetti alle cozze (muscles).  We started with a tour of their hobby farm in which they grow much of their food and their Vespa and Harley collection.  Impressive to say the least. They are hosting a large rally this week here in Naples.

Last day in Naples

 Low key day as this is the last day in Naples. Went to the Museo di San Martino then packed.  The Museo was right next to St. Elmo Castle behind Jim's apartment and was a huge surprise.  An old monastery and baroque church with beautiful frescos on the ceiling and inlaid marble throughout.  The Museum held one of the best collections of presepis (nativity scenes) I've seen which Naples is famous for.    You also can find a great view of the city and Bay of Naples similar to St. Elmo. Our last dinner at our favorite Trattoria da Pepppino Retrovo degli Artisti.

 Ok, so we had a nice windshield tour of Rome on the way to the airport.  Janice wanted to check one last time once at the airport to find our bags.  We checked into British Air without our luggage and she went on her "Finders" mission.  In the meantime, I called Alitalia for status on our luggage, in which they replied "no news".  A half an hour later, guess who walks up with both our bags - yup.  She did it and now I owe her dinner.  If you ever need to find anything, just ask Janice.  She is on it.
