After we left Tuscany, our ship docked in Rome -- We stayed on board that day. The next day we docked in Naples and decided to walk the city on our own -- searching for the pizza mentioned in Eat, Pray, Love that the author raves about.
It began cloudy, but the sun peaked through a couple of times. We couldn't understand why all the streets were roped off. A man stopped us to tell us where we could walk -- people there were so very kind -- they would just come up to us and share their favorite parts of the city. Anyhoodle (as my friend Jay would say), it turns out Naples was hosting a marathon. It was fun being in the middle of all this commotion. We really felt more like Napalitanos than tourists.
This is the famed Spanish sector.
Pasta!!!!
An Italian dog-walker...
We finally found the pizza place: L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele. It was good, but not the best we've ever had.
One of the many beautiful churches we visited.
After walking for three hours, the ship was a welcome sight! Time for the hot tub!!!

Looks like a lot of fun. The guys in the pizzeria look none too busy, I'd expect the place to be more crowded with the literary reference and all!
So cool that you found the pizza place! I so loved that book!
Looks like you had a great vacation! Thank goodness for hot tubs!
When I saw your title my immediate thought was, good luck! It is hard to find anything open here on a Sunday, so I thought you might have the same "luck" or lack there of. So, did I miss the story of the new profile picture? Did you rappel??!!
You are my kind of gal - searching for the food mentioned in a book! I was eagerly reading to see if you REALLY liked it - funny! I liked the photos of the city.
I loved seeing your pictures - I've never been to Naples, and not likely to get there now! It looks so interesting.
Your trip sounded awesome, Kathy... I would love to visit those places sometime. Visiting all of the churches/cathedrals and all of the castles would be tremendous...
Love your header.
Hugs,
