Trip to Naples!

This past weekend Sheila, Mary and I hopped on the train and spent the weekend in Naples. We couldn't have asked for better weather and our hotel, complete with a rooftop garden, was right on the waterfront. On Friday we went to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli where we saw sculptures and mosaics from Pompeii; we also walked around the city (and bought authentic cameos and turquoise earrings) until sunset and ate dinner at a local pizzeria. On Saturday we toured both Pompeii and Sorento (which was my personal favorite- a town with the perfect mix of modern amenities and old world Italy) and at night headed back to Naples. We concluded our trip today with a long walk along the waterfront and around various marinas.
