Today was a Museum day. We took the Metro up to the National Archeological Museum. They are the first four photos below. That's K and I with some statues. A mosaic taken from the ruins of Pompeii. The last is of a statue that uses two types of marbles.
We then walked uphill to the Art Museum at Capodomonte Royal Palace. We passed through a fruit and fish market on the way. There's a live octopus in one of the buckets there (trust me).
The last two photos show off some of the art. Lots of pots and one of the many, many, many paintings by Italian artists.
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.
