It appears they have a little trash problem in Naples, Italy. This is just the latest flare-up over garbage in the country. You know, not to be insensitive, since it’s all interrelated, but I’ll take garbage on the street over garbage in my cheese any day.
Since I have a limited amount of time in Italy, I plan to visit Rome, Bologna, Milan, Lake Como, Florence and Venice. Here is hoping the only trashy thing about any of those cities are the men who grab women’s bumbums.
They make it sound like Naples is normally beautiful, but I was there 7 years ago when I studied abroad (has it been that long?!) and it was gross then too. I think it is wise to venture to those alternate cities. Venice is the most packed place I have ever been. It was crazy!

Moo will be disappointed you’re not going to Sorrento…she said it was by far the most beautiful place in Italy (in her story she appears to have comsumed a few cocktails there, too- so perhaps that plays a role in her forming her opinion!)

Sorrento is beautiful…and they have lemons the size of your head! as long as you don’t have to stop in Naples you should try and go:-)

Kristen — mmm, lemons. Sounds like they double as a pillow!
Caroline — no one gets to be disappointed by where I go unless SHE COMES, TOO! Just remember, that 30th birthday/20th anniversary trip is not as far away as it sounds.

Oh, and the real tragedy to me is I won’t be visiting Cinque Terre or the Amalfi Coast. Next time…
