And then there was Amy...

Sidetracked from the sequel to my previous post because one of my best and longest friends Amy came to Italy to visit. We have been having a blast touring around and hanging out; right now we are on the island of Ischia near Napoli. Since we had to wander our way through Napoli yesterday to catch a ferry here, I have now discovered where the men of Italy truly get their reputation from. The catcalls and comments we heard were somewhere in the hundreds...but the closest actual contact we received was from the air of cars racing by us, inches from our elbows and horns blaring. The Napoli accent/dialect is so thiiiiiiiiiick that I can only understand maybe half of what people are saying, at most! An interesting experience, to put it nicely, but we are glad to be here in a calmer and quieter place. The pizza here is gooooood-I've gotten used to the Roman style of pizza with a thin thin crust and it is puffier here and yummy.
So when my distraction (Amy) leaves on Monday I will get back to my other thoughts!!
