Today was a travel day and an evening in Napoli. I really enjoyed the seven hours on the train to Napoli. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, the train actually goes on the ferry. Part of the time you can sit on the deck. I really needed some quiet time, so I used my headset as a way to avoid conversation.
I finally had a chance to see my body in the light with a full length mirror. I am full of black bruises on my legs!! No wonder my body hurts. I also have cuts all over my hands and arms from picking the oranges. I will enjoy an inside job for the next couple weeks.
I spent most of my time in Napoli hunting down a shop called Limone. This is the shop where I found my “non permanent” hair color. I walked at a very fast pace for over two hours and never did find the store. Now Napoli streets are filled with people and cars, so I am sure I knocked a few people down. I did a double “Scouza” for a very old woman who was being helped by her granddaughter. I am really soooo bad.
Although it is really “bad” to be so addicted to hair color, in my search I found some very interesting areas of Napoli, where the shops are fantastic. The shopping here is better than Rome and Florence because they have the same clothes at a better price. Good thing I can not fit another thing in my suitcases.
For those truly concerned about my hair, I did find a store that sold the hair color and bought two boxes. I don’t want to be without again. I really feel so vain when I am writing this!!
Once again I am exhausted and need to be up by 4:30am to catch the 5:51 train to Sumona. I am really excited because I will be on the train for sunrise. The train ride is a tourist attraction in itself.
Ciao for now

Hi Paula, Recently,I came across your blog quite by accident. Your name was still displayed on a list of messages I sent to you last year through facebook. (I am a Villa classmate.) I have been intrigued by your travels and you have sparked an interest in me to identify where my mother was born. She came to the US from a small town in Cosanza when she was seven years old. The town is Fiumefreddo, Bruzzo. I hope some day I too will be able to visit this little village. I found it on Google maps and I have examined some of the sites through google pictures. Are you going anywhere near that area? It has been fun following your blog and I look forward to reading more of your travels. I am using my husband's gmail to write you as I don't have a gmail account. Don't freak out with the various greetings.

Hi Nancy, I have limited access to the internet at this farm, but will try and see if I am close to your town. I will be spending a few days in my grandparents town. Glad you are enjoying the blog. I am having fun writing it.
