Last night we attended a farewell dinner for our sponsor who is moving back to the states next week.  We ate at a family owned restaurant and the food was fabuloso. The spread  consisted of  fresh baked bass, fried seaweed, fried minnows, steaks, marguerita pizzas, assorted pasta dishes, bruchetta, grilled veggies, antipasto, tiramisu, and lots of house red wine. Afterwards several of us went over to Dr. Lawsons house to drink limoncello and more red wine. It was a great night. Our friend Raphael, Trent, and I had to walk home since we couldn't drive. I haven't had that much fun in a while.

I did learn some stuff about our surroundings. Like I've been recycling for nothing because where we live the mob controls the trash pick up and all they do is come on base pick up all the trash and recyclables then they drive off base and dump it on the streets. I had heard about this before, but I still kept recycling because it made me feel good...like I was still contributing to saving our enviornment. 

Alas, Naples is beautiful with lots of history, but trash can be seen almost everywhere in some places. They even dump trash along the highway....it's such an eye sore. Oh well that's just life here....they don't call Naples the armpit of Europe for nothing. Trash, mob, and all I still love it and feel blessed to live here! LOL
