The mountains were just beautiful and the water. I have to get all of these pictures on facebook and then everyone can see them, it is hard to put them all on here. Carrie you are just going to love it, I think the best part was to see that my son was ok.

This is the group we went out with. We went to a place right on the water, it was nice at first and then a band came in and forget it we could not talk, we were yelling to hear each other. LOL But we had a great time.

This is Amber's friend Megan ( I hope I got her name right) very nice girl.

Carrie, Guess Who???? This is when we went out to dinner.

Well I did not see anywhere in Naples that was nice but outside of Naples was pretty nice. The food was ok, the do not cook their meat like we do so I did not want to eat any meat. Everything is just about closed on Sunday. There is garbage EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!! It is nothing like here. Stephen loves it and had seen a lot of things so I am very happy for him. We meet a lot of his friends, where was nice and I shopped at the NEX, I love the NEX, the NEX is much nicer on Support Side but Capo was ok, but much smaller. And ladies they all drive like NUTS out there. LOL It was an adventure. Paris and Rome were really nice but parts of Paris was dirty also, but Rome is very different, no garbage anywhere. I will post some pictures as soon as I get them on my computer. LOL I am still trying to catch up with wash. It was so nice to see all of those men and women in their uniforms on base. I will tell you something I will not worry about Stephen living or working on base, it is very safe, I am so glad I got to see where he lives and work, it gives me a piece of mind. I will tell you when you eat out at the cafes they will make and do anything to make you happy, they want you to enjoy your food.
Christine how long has your son been in Naples?
Well Stephen is getting down to 9 months soon so he will be looking for a new base, so we will see where he will go.
Robin how is your daughter doing?

Hi, I am back, what a wonderful trip. It was so good to see my son, just like old times having the whole family together. We saw a lot, things I have only seen on TV it was wonderful. I probably took 300 or 400 hundred pictures.
Robin yes flowers and wash go together don't they. Wash was hung outside everywhere. It was a nice place to visit but I am glad to be home. Just hated leaving my son.
Carrie, I met Amber we went to dinner and had a great time. She is so excited for you to come and visit. She is so funny. Stephen and her are so cute together, good friends. He really does watch over her. She eats off of his place I found that funny even off of mine, she really likes french fries. LOL Don't tell her I told you that. I will post pictures soon. Just trying to catch up with things and this jet lag is really hard to get rid of I felt fine when I got there but here it is taking a told on me.
