Naples for the last time!
07.08.2006
Today, I went to the Duomo, the Naples Cathedral. It was impressive inside. St. Gennaro's bones are underneath the altar and you can go downstairs to see them. (He is VERY famous here.) I even went to the excavation site underneath the church. It was neat to see old Roman walls and roads that were covered up by other buildings over the last few centuries....
Then I went to San Lorenzo Maggiore...another church with better ruins underneath. You could see the shop walls and areas where they collected water, did laundry, the town bank, etc. I really liked this site better.
I windowshopped for awhile, cruising down the back streets with the locals. Headed home on a train, ate lunch at my favorite veggie place for the last time, and started to do my laundry.
Tomorrow I may go to Vesuvius and then pack since I leave early Wed. morning for other parts of Italy.
