Judy and Greg
Ciao everyone! Here are some more pictures from two places we have recently visited near Naples. Above are some pictures of us and our friends Judy and Greg at Caserta Vecchia (old Caserta). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in this beautiful town situatued at the very top of a mountain. Once again, anywhere you go in Italy there are amazing views of the city! The pictures below are from Baia and Pozzuoli. Jason and I spent this past Saturday visiting an old castle and archaeological museum, and then had dinner with our friends in Pozzuoli. That night we also visited the church of San Gennaro. San Gennaro is the patron Saint of Naples, and every year the people of Napoli hold a week long festival in his honor. This church was not only where San Gennaro was beheaded in 305 A.D., but is also where a vial of his blood is kept. Every year the people of Naples watch to see if the blood liquefies. If this happens, it is said that the next year will be good! And lucky for us, it liquefied this past week!
