Hotel Des Artistes Naples

Nous avons pris l'autobus publique pour atteindre le sommet du vesus, le volcan n'a pas tellement a offrir, mais la vue sur la bay est vraiment belle. Ensuite, nous avons visités les ruines d'Herculaneom. Une autre ville disparue sous l'eruption du vesus il y a pres de 2000 ans. il y a encore beaucoup de travail d'archeologie en cours, mais on peut voir que la ville est meiux conserver, il y a meme des batiments de 2 et 3 etages et des pieces de bois qui ont traversé le temps !

... TravelPod" is a complete pain in the a@$ to use. For our 2010 "Radical Sabbatical" trip to Asia, I'm switching to another web service.

But, I've promised myself that I'll update this blog before we leave Naples...

Ola Kala: simply, OK (in Greek). No time for lots of flap.....we're on the go. The Vatican Museums await us (and we can hardly wait to do more walking!). Enjoy the pictures and we'll fill you in on the adventure next time I make the time to sit and gab.

We're still having a grand time!!!!!

... half of the ruins, but saw some really amzing stuff.
Pity we couldn't get into the large arena as it was blocked off and looked really impressive from what we could see from the outside.

... to Naples was really nice, passing through seemingly endless seas of vineyards flashing by at high speed.
Welcome Inn Hostel in Naples was cool too. An apartment converted into hostel but with good common area and roomy enough dorms.

Wandered around Naples and really like this city. Most exciting one so far in Italy. Some people had said not to go to Naples cause it was dirty and dangerous. Glad I didn't listen as it's my favourite city in ...

... tourist lunch. We caught the train back to Naples and had dinner, then Jules took us out for cake and the very best gelato I will ever have in my life. It was seriously one of the most beautiful taste sensations on the planet and I had the privilege of enjoying it – it was chocolate flavor for the record, the best flavor there is. We spent the rest of the evening playing Guitar Hero ‘Beatles’ style with Jules and his brother Marco – it was ...

... around the museum and saw video of the blood liquefying, etc.  I got a very negative vibe in that place....couldn't get out fast enough.  Paul enjoyed it.We returned to Rome that evening and went out to dinner for the last night.  Our flight home was loooooong!  11 hrs from Rome to Atlantat; 4 hr wait in Atlanta; 3 hr flight to Albuquerque (arriving late at night).  We spent the night in Albuquerque and left the next morning for the 2.5 hr drive to Taos.

... than a lot of the world enjoys today but in this small town drastically and suddenly ended by environmental catastrophe. I spent some time catching up with some other friends of mine working in the area. Mostly pilot types so other than enduring the constant 'who's a better stick than the other' there was plenty of beer, good fun, and complaining about what was wrong with their job, which I am ...

... some reason most of our train rides have at least ONE crazy loon who talks to themselves and this night was no different - in fact, this one was one of the crazier ones and we found him watching the pornography off of another guy's cell phone! Yes, only in Italy! There was another odd duck, this woman who looked like she had just gotten off the beach in her bathing suit and tanned and she kept getting up to look at the stops on the chart to see which one she would take. She ...
