Lately I have been feeling a bit vulnerable and especially wary with all the violence that has been happening and especially since Domenico and his friend were held up at gun point last week.
They had just parked when a couple of guys on a motorbike pulled out a gun and asked if they had any money, when they said they didn’t they just said OK and took off with a wave! Unbelievable! It seems to be a normal occurrence, though I would be freaking out.

that is crazy about Domenico getting held up at gunpoint and then just waved away, as if it was no big deal (like a friend trying to bum money or something)...weird! i still have not been to Napoli, but that picture of pizza is enough to tempt me down there. We actually would really like to go. I think a lot of people have that love-hate relationship with Napoli--I've heard that a lot.
I've only been to Napoli twice, both time when I've flown there to get to Positano, so I've never had the chance to explore the city. I have, however, noticed the trash everywhere!
Thank God Domenico is okay, that's scary and crazy!

mmmmm...pizza.
yum! all that food is making me so hungry!
Well, I live here in this crazy city, and it's full of rubbish. I heart Naples :)
I'll be in Naples this weekend!!!I love pizza too!!!!
