Naples propper

Dan recently posted some pictures on Facebook about a weekend trip we had made and a friend commented on how she wish she had his life for a day. It is true, he is a very well traveled guy. Other than our adventures around Italy, He has been on two TDY (military talk for temporary assignment elsewhere) trips since mid January when we go here. One to Prague and one to Germany. Both places I love and was also jealous, but two places who also have there own problems, homeless, or underage drinking and smoking and smog and so forth. When you vacation some where either you are in the polished up tourist part of town, or you are only taking pictures of the spectacular views. I can not remember a time I took a picture of the man n the side of the street selling tiny eiffel towers 3/1 euro in order to buy he's evening bread. 

I took this picture because of the reference to my daughter

 However, this weekend trip into explore naples proper we decided to take pictures of it all, the good the bad and the ugly. the weather wasn't great so we did our exploration via double decker tour bus. Which honestly is a great way to see a lot of one town and get the history. Here it is about 20 Euros and there are two tours you can get for that. The inner city with all the land marks and historic statues (be they graffitied or not) and then the coast and the trade history.

This is a Vesuvius pizza. The bottom is a calzone to represent the Mountain and the top margarita pizza is the explosion.

It is beautiful, no matter how you look at it, its amazingly old and it has its own culture and style and it is naples!
