Snippets from explorations around the capital of Campania and environs, and not a lot of talk. These are 1000-word scenes for sure.
Life
Napoli, Nuova
We’re just getting settled into Napoli and finding our way around these enormous hills! So far, so very good, including standard-setting pizza.
Back to the beginning
I returned to the place where I wrote my first blog posts, twelve years ago. This was also my first work travel since before COVID. Hazy reflection ensues.
Fart cars, stifling humidity, casual bigotry and fast food
Never Have I Ever… been so negative in a post. Keep reading for some bright sides, which I didn’t earn but for which I’m awfully grateful.
Our little gargoyle
Doing our best in a bad situation. Ready to gripe about it if anyone wants to call. Send margaritas, please!
When your rock starts to crumble
Some stuff about my Dad. And me and my siblings. And life.
Finally… to Djerba
The ferry took us to Djerba, where we found two mind-expanding sites in El Ghriba Synagogue and Djerbahood, and then we dipped into the sea.
The Gem of El Djem
Me ‘n’ Ali made it to the Colosseum at El Djem, and to the gorgeous national museum full of preserved Roman mosaics.
North and West in Tunisia
In which Ali and I head, ahem, north and west. Or rather west and then north. Very near Algeria, actually. And from HOT to mountain to sea.
Enjoying La Marsa and Tunis one more time
When Ali decided to come see me in Tunisia, I got a chance to make amends for my failure to see more of this beautiful country. Post #1!
