Naples seems to be known for horrible traffic, garbage, pickpockets and pizza. Maybe because we are here on a weekend and haven’t really gone beyond the historic center, but it’s been reasonably sane for a big city. Posted is a photo of pretty insane traffic with scooters zooming between lanes of traffic on one street and there is traffic noise in the distance from our hotel. We did have a good pizza our first night here. No pickpockets so far! Garbage is a little out of control, but I guess not as bad as it has been. Something about the mafia controlling garbage disposal and using that to manipulate government. We are staying at the Belle Arti hotel in the historic center, and it is in a renovated palace. See photos of the door from the street and of our room! The other notable feature of the historic center are the churches every block or so.

That door is pretty cool. As for Pompeii, I would have been disappointed to not see lava encased household items too - that story is one that seems to catch all of our childhood imaginations...
Can't wait to see a narrated slideshow AND btw, Cody asked me to remind you to not fall so completely in love with the place that you forget to come home.
He needs his hiking partner!
