I just got back from Naples Italy last week!

I had a great time and learned a lot. Learned two main things from the city of Naples and Italy... You can find beauty anywhere, if you just gaze selectively, and avoid the airline Alitalia at all costs! I caught some nice images on my Flickr site at www.flickr.com/photos/vivneal. Click the Naples set to see them or just click on the thumbnail above... Below's a few from the set too, and they take you back to the images themselves.
One of the highlights of the trip was a guided tour of the underground tunnels throughout the city. Initially as quarrys, then acquaducts, then War bomb shelters. Lots of history all over!













































Chaos!
Neapolitan life is very chaotic. First, the airline AlItalia was on strike when we were going down and so we had to get rescheduled on another carrier. One day on the way to the conference we weren't able to get into the facility because there was a strike and a demonstration blocking the route. Anyone would agree after experiencing traffic that it a demonstration in chaos... While we were walking as a part of the tour there was at least one near-miss. Finally, on the return trip, it took me three extra days to get home because of airline delays. What an adventure!
