So do they still have the vendors selling half a roasted chicken on the plaza? Or those little kiosks selling Devi's jeans? Did you skip bella Napoli? Don't miss the Cameo factory and stay away from Via Roma while you are there. Try the anchovy stuffed olives too. About two blocks to the right of the cruise ship docks there used to be a little mom and pop bar where you could pick up a liter of decent local red wine for about a buck too. Oh yeah, the pizza joint that was featured on the Food Network is also very near to those docks too, watch out for the Hey, Joes too. Never buy from them without haggling. They always come down.
I wondered where you have been!! I missed you! Great pictorial! I am jealousing here!
Welcome back! Missed you MS, and so glad you were having a great time. I leave for Barcelona on Dec 2. Did you like your hotel? If so, PM me about it!
Love the pics! Spain is high on my "must visit" list. We enjoyed Pompeii so much. It's amazing and so are your photos. I particularly like "Pompeii Main Market Street." Thanks for sharing.
Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, wow! it must feel so special to walk those roads which have been walked by for thousands of years before us... impressive views. Thank you!
How wonderful to have you back, and photos already! These are gorgeous pics of a very unusual place.

I love your hotel, and hope when you have rested you will tell us about it as well as all of the things you promise. Catch some Zzzz's.
Barcelona! Is that Las Ramblas outside? Once of my favorite cities, hands down. Did you get to see any of the Gaudi architecture?

Pompeii looks fascinating! Sleep well, Mothership.
I absolutely loved Pompeii when I was there...and I thank you for the reminder pix.

What a great place!
GORGEOUS! Jealousing! Missing you!
