K and I took a bus down to the city center and walked around the area called municipali. From the top of the page there is the Castle Nouvo (New castle) and the inside of the Galleria Humberto I. The Piazza Plebiscito (People's plaza) has the dome shaped San Francesco di Paola Church (Modeled on Rome's Pantheon) on one side and the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace) on the other. The royal palace has statues of famous Italian kings (like Victor Emanuelle II pictured here) alog the entire side facing the piazza. The final picture shows what Neopolitanos enjoy most after a busy day at work... passagietta (the evening stroll around town before dinner). We ate at a Chinese restaurant and enjoyed the change of pace.
Remember... Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body- but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy s***...what a ride!" ----->Don't let your tombstone read: Died at 30- Buried at 80.
