Exploring

We had a busy day exploring downtown Naples today with a bunch of the other new junior officers. Some of the highlights:
-Great tour of the historic district given by a JO who has lived in the area for 2 years and who gave us lots of info and tips.
-Waiting for a seat at a famous pizzeria while drinking red wine (clearly homemade) from a cafe.
-Being seated with an ancient little Italian man who ate his entire pizza while possessing only one tooth.
-Visiting a limoncello shop where the owner showed us the process of making the limoncello and gave us a tasting.
-Viewing the city of Naples, at sunset, from the ramparts of an old castle.
-Buying new cell phones!

  2. Wow, sounds pretty amazing! I second what mom said, thanks for doing this. It's so fun to picture you there. Mmmmmm, pizza and wine. And castle ramparts at sunset! And one-toothed eaters! Love from Brooklyn-
