Mom's Adventures in Napoli Continued...

A day last week, we decided to go to Naples again. I felt my mother hadn't seen enough of Naples. We started our adventure with food because as you know, food is very important to us and in Italian culture. I took mom to the same pizzeria I took my cousins, Jamie (last November) and Jane (last May).

We sat down at the pizzeria and ordered our pizza. Mom got the Margherita and I ordered the sausage and Neapolitan broccoli, which the waiter informed me was the best pizza.

Mom informed me afterwards that this was the best crust she had so far....After we ate our lunch, we adventured into Naples heading towards the historical part. Our first stop was Maschio Angioino, one of Naples many castles. 







When we visited Maschio Angioino, we heard music coming from one of the rooms. Mom went and looked at what was going on. There was a live band and there was a wedding. Mom crashed a wedding! :) We toured the castle and then went on our way...

We headed towards Piazza Plebiscito and everything in between so the Palace, theater, and galleria.

 After seeing some more sights in Naples, we decided to call it a day and head home. On our way home, we took a few detours. We ended up on the same road that we were on the first time we went to Naples. It was the same road where we took the underground tour of Naples. When we went through the tour before, Mom wanted to buy a candlestick holder in memory of walking through the small narrow passage underground with a candlestick. The only one they had at the time was broken and they were going to charge us $10. Since we were walking by again, I asked Mom if she wanted to check to see if they got any more in stock. We asked and they checked for us. They apologized and informed us that there weren't any left except for the broken/cracked one. So they told us to just take the only one they had for free. It was a spontaneous adventure that led us to a free souvenir. Things happen for a reason.

Overall, we had a great day in Naples again. :)
