Last day in Italy

Thunderstorms  on Sunday!  Lots of rain, but that was okay because we wrote off Sunday as I had a roaring cold...BUY  KMB!!  I had kleenex packed up my nostrils all day.  We went up to the rooftop and had some quiet time.  I recovered enough to go out for dinner and we ended up at the coast at a beachfront restaurant and had a fun meal.  Sardines, shrimp, an eel biting his tail and a white fish all with fries.  Pam had pasta.

We awoke on Monday and found a baggage notice on our door and decided that we were supposed to leave that day.  The lady at the desk, who could be Maria Magnuson's sister, said yes you are out of here!

So we packed up and called the guys to take our bags to the garage.  There is a light that allows only one way traffic through the main street at certain times of the day.  It's blocked after 10:10 am til noon.  We made it out in time.

Then 40 minutes of zigging and zagging. . . I actually passed a motorcycle! Feeling good until passed by a truck!  We were looking for a ceramics shop that could make a tile of our house to put under our grape arbor.   I remembered seeing a building with the name Pisapia on it and figured that would be the place as they were probably family from my grade school buddy John and his dad Chef Al-ardi!    Well they were closed and Pisapia meant something about sitting in the front row at church.  Nevermind!

We left a bunch of money with them and will send a picture of the house and get some tiles in return...yea...you  betcha!

We found Pompeii and toured the grounds in sweltering weather.  Very interesting, but I'm sure we missed a bunch.

Found our hotel in Naples and took the car to the airport and shuttle back to the hotel, sans pool, but has an ice machine!  The air conditioner has been on full blast for a couple of hours and it is about 75 degrees, F. 

Looking forward to getting up at 3:30 a.m. for our 6:30 flight to Frankfurt and hope to catch the flight to SEA!!

Hope all is well with all of you all!!!!!!!!
