photos galore!

We got back to Napoli yesterday afternoon and definitely miss waking up to the beautiful sea. Some good news though: They are picking up the garbage here EVERY DAY and they are starting to RECYCLE!!!! Woo-hoo! Bravo Napoli!

Here are some pictures of the last couple weeks at the vacation house. It's now time for both Antonello and I to start getting ready for school. Both of us start in September and are looking forward to experience that part of life together. It is definitely scary for me to think about taking the bus by myself in the crazy city of Napoli and still not being able to completely speak sentences fluently, but I will try. Prayers are greatly appreciated! :)

Here are more pictures from Diamante, a little town we went to which means "diamond". They are known for their peppers, as you can see on this woman's balcony.
