Some views of Naples

Today we decided to just roam the streets of Naples to get a feel for the city of 1 Million and its people. It has been a wonderful day of awe and laughs. Napoli suffered horrorably from bombing by the Allies in WWII. National monuments obliterated. Whole blocks of apartment buildings leveled. Factories gone forever. Like the Poles the Napoli Italians have built it all back. They really, even now, appreciate the generosity of the Americans in helping them. They have created a society and way of life like no other. We have selected a few of the pictures to give you a sense of Naples.
