... area. Well, since I had been told it existed I went in with more confidence. Indeed. It was the LARGEST seating area of any of the pizza contestants. There was a small area next to the kitchen that was off a small entry way -- hidden from the street. Then upstairs there were at least 4 rooms with simple chairs and tables. Just waiting to be the lucky support of some delicious pizza.<br><br>I ordered the Buffala pizza. Mozzarella di Buffala (HEY! Does that mean from Buffalo milk ...

... The most sobering realization was just how similar these people were to us. Sure, there are obvious differences, but in reality we haven't come 'so far' in 2000 years. The basics are still the same. Maybe you'll disagree. But take a look at some of the pix and let me know. <br><br>Mitch, I hope I caught everything you were looking for. And before flipping through the photos ask your parents if you can look at the brothel photos, okay?<br>

From Rome we headed south to Positano. Once in Sorento we hired a cab to take us the rest away the way, along a very narrow winding road about 150 meters above the sea. For this driver the lines dividing the highway were merely suggestions and blind corners ************cern. The views were spectacular, however the cliff edge road ...

... umbrella and raincoat got soaked through to our underwear! Next day it rained hard too but did not mind a lazy day with no sightseeing. The city of Naples has a few nice areas but is a really dirty city and one day of sightseeing was plenty. Seeing Naples and Mt. Vesuvius from a distance is the best way to see them but south of Naples and the Almafi coast is not to be missed.

... cross and then followed them.<br><br>The CitySightseeing buses were a great way to view the city in a short period of time. As the bus navigated around the city streets, we noticed that the car of choice was the smart car. Good thing! I could not imagine driving anything larger in this city! Parking was a premium everywhere! Anywhere you could find enough space the size of a throw rug, you ...

... but at least we were pointed in the right direction. Nice we drive by the train station where we will be dropping off the car. Now call the hostel for the second time to get detail directions. We are close, after a "make a left from the right hand lane" and &#8220;don&#8217;t go too far or you will have to go around the city because it&#8217;s a one way street&#8221;, we find the spot. Easy, we check in and drop off our stuff. Now how to get ...

Our wonderful Italian neighbors Nello & Giovanna invited us to enjoy Christmas Day dinner at their house, with their daugther Antoinetta and grandson Davide. It was a delicious Italian-American feast, with tortellini in pesto sauce, spiral sliced American ham, mashed potatos, friarelli (a type of Italian broccoli), several salads with Italian tuna, olives, peppers, and cauliflower, brownies, and fresh fruit. On December 30th, I went to downtown Naples to tour a few places I hadn ...

... take a look). Well, I don't want this to be a history lesson so I will get to the silly stuff that happened today as well! So, as I have said before, Traffic is TERRIBLE! Terrible I tell you! And, when we were getting off the Cable car and walking back from the train station, I got honked at lol, scared the **** out of me, and as he drove by he said something to me so I yelled back "Ciao!!!" lol probably shouldn't have BUT I did ...

... we can't remember the name of now. Bernie and I call them "Lobster Tails". Stephanie just rolls her eyes when we call them that. Later we had a few minutes to go shopping. Carol tried her luck at the lottery instant tickets (Italian tickets!) since there was no bingo scheduled today, but she lost. After Sorrento, we traveled a little higher into the mountains to visit a local farm. Here we had a ...

This is getting even breifer because I just lost my last entry when i tried to add it !!! Long trip to Italy - took 36 hours and involved three trains, an overnight ferry a bus and a very long walk to find a hostel in Naples. But some great Pizza at the end of it.
