Where you there before Kenny Bunk?:)”And things you never heard addressed to a dead saint.”:)

Fatima, I was privileged to spend quite a bit of my time as a NATO Warrior in and around dear old Napoli. It can be a little too intense for Nordic types, or even other Italians, but it is just one hell of a place ... a major world capital for over 500 years when sheep and cattle roamed Rome.

One of the world's major museum towns, a fabulous yachting town (my thing), food town, sophisticated town, primitive town, opera town, beautiful town, dangerous town, you name it, I miss it. Be back for a visit with friends next Spring, deo volente.

As to San Gennaro. Everything Protestants find distasteful about Catholicism is on effulgent and shameless display in the baroque churches of Napoli, even the whores (pardon me, sex workers) have their own parish! And the statues, the relics, the processions, the superstitions mamma mia!

What can I say, I love the place, which is probably evidence of serious character defect.
