Ciao Tutti,
I'm currently on a train from Naples to Florence. Last night was pretty uneventful. After I got back to Naples from Capri I dropped my iPad off at my hostel and went to a traditional Neopolitan pizzeria. When I asked the hostel staff where I should go, they told me "Da Michele". Finally, a pizzeria named after me!
It was about a 20 minute walk through the heart of Naples to get there. I walked along their Corso (every town in Italy has a main shopping road called the Corso). Everything was pretty much closed because it was 7:00 PM on a Saturday.
The pizzeria was packed. They made sure every seat was filled even if it meant putting you at a table with a family of seven (in my case). The pizza was pretty good - I think I've had a few better ones in my travels thus throughout Italy. The ingredients in Naples just taste fresher. The pizza was so big that we all cut in in quarters and still had to fold each piece in half twice. It only cost €4, too!
After dinner, I returned to the hostel and spoke with a few people in my room until about midnight. There were three guys from Canada, one guy and two girls from Australia, and someone from Korea. I love the social aspect of hostels. At about midnight, I decided to hit the sack since I had to wake up at 6:15 AM this morning.
Now, I'm off to Florence for two days, then Milan for three and a half. I'll do the touristy stuff in Florence today and goof off for a day tomorrow. I'm meeting one of my teachers from Penn State for lunch tomorrow, then I want to do a few things that I was never able to do in Florence because I was always pressed for time.
