Well, we are almost home... just one more stop before we fly back to the States. We are in Naples, the most Italian of Italian cities, vibrant, crowded, great food and tons of churches.
I wont beat around the bush: the best thing about this city is the pizza. There is a place called DiMatteos, on a packed cobbled street in the middle of t…

I was flipping through your pictures again today, and I still love this one. That the lake should be younger than the graveyard is just never something that would occur to someone normally. I love it.

Scott,
Your blog about Romania really got just about all of it, and so precisely and elegantly described. And the photographs are wonderful...this way I get to keep it forever.
The photos of Turkey are spectacular - the shot of the Suleyman mosque in particular. I'm glad you got the travel bug back, if only for a while.

Isn't Sarajevo wonderful! I'm delighted to read that the people were able to protect or recreate the energy of the city after all they've been through. Your description matches my memories of the fascinating mix of cultures in the city. Thanks for the reminder and the reassurance.

Scott -
It has been fun comparing your description of the Tatras experience and Rebecca's. I love your photographs, every one of them. More please! You must have had so much fun making Bouzov Castle.
The photo of the river in Prague is gorgeous. I can't believe that Marcia and I will be there in just a little over two weeks!

Scott - How cool that you went to Leipzig, and got away from the capitals of European cities for awhile. It sounds like a nice change of pace, and the potato house and the double room feels like finally there is a town that wants to make you welcome on your own terms.

Kathy and your Mom
Hey, Scott! Your mom and I were just looking at all REBECCA's wonderful pictures and are very glad SHE post some!
Your mom was here and she had not seen any of the pix so we did a slideshow. She was excited to see you and was glad when you finally changed your shirt in Rebecca's pictures.
Oaly safe, have more fun, take more pictures for us to see when you finally return to the US.
Love, Mom and Kathy

How sad to have such a disappointing experience of Amsterdam. Yes, it's a beautiful city and I had imagined the two of you renting bicycles and adding the the lovely soft whirring sound that fills the city. So, you'll return and experience the Dutch rather than silly American tourists visiting places for all the wrong reasons . . . and you'll get to enjoy those peaceful canals.
At least Van Gogh saved the day. Don't you love saying his name?

Scott,
Its nice to have you back in Europe again, though I'm still feeling all the beauty and wonder of Morocco that came through your writing. I'm glad you are enjoying Paris with a kitchen and a view of the Eiffel tower.
I'm itching to have a real conversation with you, and glad that we will have that opportunity in a few months.
