Italy - Living Easy

By spending time in Southern Italy with Frank and Anna and Anna’s family I’ve certainly fallen into the easy life. A nice comfortable place to stay, more delicious food than I can eat, and interesting sites to explore. The climate is warm but mild and sunny skies are the norm.

Yesterday we started off the day by visiting the local market where Anna purchased 10 kg of fresh Sardines along with clams. After that Frank and I checked out some Greek tunnels and Roman ruins dating back as far as 600 B.C... We returned to eat lots of the sardines and clams that Anna purchased at the morning market. The sardines in Italy are nothing like the fishy salty things you get in a can back in the states. Around 2 pm Frank and I took a train into the city of Naples where we walked around a bit.

What I like about Italy, more than other parts of Europe, is that’s it’s simply more interesting with its lively colorful people, architecture, and of course food. Beneath it all is a thick element of ancient Greek and Roman culture. The road you walk or drive upon could easily be more that two thousand years old. At one site of local ruins Frank told me how kids playing soccer use to kick up Roman coins.
