1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
... what will they be doing 10 years from now? I suppose the Chinese woman will have here own shop by then. The African guy, may or may not have worked his way up—perhaps, if he’s clever and frugal, he’ll have built himself a little house down in Senegal… or maybe not. And the Roma woman? Still begging, perhaps? How is this possibly going to lead to a better life for her, her children, and her people? ...
1140. A Disaster in the Making (Italy 117)
... almost a “city” feel to it with a bustling main avenue, and it also has the cramped old city feel in its alleyways that lead up to a domed cathedral. Yes, definitely more than just a “Napoli Suburb” here.

This time the obstacle is some very jagged volcanic rock, where I set down my guitar and a gust of wind smacks it against a boulder, gouging it a bit. But I don’t mind—actually I feel kind of proud of my guitar for having suffered a wound at the hand ...
Day 62 - Pompeii
... after the earthquakes and we wondered if that's what we should do with it. Leave it the way it is and make it a tourist attraction!
Luckily the day was overcast and not too hot as walking the cobbled streets would have been oppressive.
In typical Italian fashion a lot of what was supposed to be open was closed and yet you could wander through other parts quite freely walking on 2000 year old mosaics ...
