I made it here just fine, followed the usual routine of checking in, getting maps, finding the supermarket. I then decided to see downtown Naples, since it was only early afternoon. Took the Metro back in to the main station and started walking to some of the more well known Piazzas. Naples is human chaos. People everywhere, cars everywhere, cars going the wrong way on one way streets, running reds, people wandering out into traffic, horns honking. Total chaos! So I started just walking with no real direction. Somehow, I hit the cost, and so I turned south. I just walked along the beautful shoreline and just kept going. I ended up walking past the area where my hostel is (about two city sections from the main station) and walked the entire Bay of Naples. Got to the southern point, sat on a bench, let the sun set behind me and watched the city light up. It was really cool. Then I walked back north to where my hostel was, got lost trying to find the metro station (the only landmark I know in the Mergellina city section, eventually located it and found the hostel. It was an awesome day :) Today I'm planning on checking out Pompeii and Caserta. I know Sarah suggested Herculeam, but I hear that it is less excavated than Pompeii. I want to Caserta, because there's this 75m man-made waterfall there. If you want to see a picture of it, watch the last scene of Return of the Jedi. I hope I have time to go to both places, because honestly, I'm a nerd, and I don't know which one I really want to see more... On a side note, I keep looking for internet cafes with USB or SD connections so I can keep posting pictures, but these are harder to come by than one may think.
May the force be with you.

And with you.
Excellent job updating your posts! but now I'm spoiled and will start expecting it ;)
Got your package - 3 CD's, disk 5 perfect, disk 4 had the last 20 picts saying redundancy check error (and last movie did not copy either) - but they are on the CD so I figure you can work on them later:)
Disk 2 and 3 with movies deleted was scratched by the sand from Omaha, jewel case had split:(
Pictures are fine, sand also:)
Love you!!!
Happy 4th of July!! Mom and Andy
Ultimate has been going good. Seems though not as many people like last summer yet. But we have enough to play when the weather cooperates. Hopefully I can get to see some of your pictures and videos when you get back man. Peace out.
