It is the Saturday after our arrival, and our sponsor invited us to his place out on "the economy" (what you call it when you don't live on base). He lives in the area of Mt. Vesuvius, the large, active volcano in the area. Don't be mad, but we did not take any pictures...cringe...gasp. When I say we were overwhelmed, overloaded, jet-lagged, on autopilot, in zombieland-it is an understatement.
It was beautiful! The villa was divided into apartments, and was on land that had lemon trees, lots of garden vegetables and flowers everywhere. The bbq took place under a garden covering overlooking a mountainous and water view, with a mixture of Americans and Italians, the perfect combo. We ate, socialized and turned in early, but not before leaving with a bottle of homeade limoncello, YUM! If our gracious friend who drove us didn't have to navigate the roads of Naples we would have enjoyed more of the limoncello right there! What a great introduction to Italy.
Since I don't have a picture of Tory's place, I will indulge you with a view from our hotel room, our temporary "home" until we find one.
