Secrets of the Italians...

Some things we have learned about the Italians: always carry toilet paper. Most of the bathrooms are out and always carry a little change in our pocket to pay for the bathroom!

-the napkins are like rough paper

-the pillows are like cardboard wrapped in batting. Seriously, you can hold a pillow up and it will stay horizontal. It won't flop down like my nice down alternative pillow at home.

-although the driving is crazy, you really don't see many dings in cars or accidents, even with all of the scooters zipping around the cars and pedestrians

-they are friendly and wiling to help, even if you don't speak their language. They love it when you try.

-so far out of all the pizza we have had, the basil leaves have been sparse! But it still tastes yummy and is like the pizza at Naples near Disneyland

-EVERYTHING costs money, parking, Internet, using the fridge in your room, using the gym, bathroom, getting into a lot of places. We have just come to terms with this and have to be okay with it!

-the love futbol! Go Napoli! There are no other sports here.

-most everything is really old. These stairs we walked up from the beach today were from the 14th century, and by the way, since there is a lack of public bathrooms, Jeremy has found many unique places to go!

-smoking is everywhere, but fortunately they can't smoke inside unless it is their own home.
