Italy 2011 - Day 1

Flew from Phoenix to Philadelphia then Philadelphia to Rome. Flew US Airways this time which I cant recall ever doing in the past. Leg room seemed real cramped, dinner didn't include alcohol you'd have to pay for it, and breakfast was a danish nothing else. Flight was fine food just seemed lacking for an international flight.

Rented a Car in Rome and headed south, didnt realize it take us 2 hours to drive down to naples. Traffic wasnt bad but definitly not is AZ anymore. Drivers have no patience and if your nose is out front you better move it. Driving in Naples was insane, Joe did a great job we survived.

Naples... humm thats an interesting one. So we parked by the train station and walked to our friends hotel. Trash on the streets everywhere. You would think they'd have to clean it up once in a while cause it wasnt piled up but Id say a month or so worth of papers and trash all on the same side of the road based on the wind blowing. So we stopped and had a Pizza, wow it was 4.40 EUROs and the pizza was huge. I wanted one with olives so got one that didnt look too bad but then it was tomato sauce, olives, anchovies and capers. Little too out there for me but not bad. I ate more of Joes.

From naples we got back to our car and drove to Pompeii for the night. Each of the emergency pull outs on the mini express way we took was a mini garbage dump. Very strange. Pompeii was happening last night, the hotel is quaint but convenient to the ruins. Its 4am and my clocks a bit messed up. Breakfast starts at 7.30.
