After the hellish night in Naples, most anything would have been a step up. Then, there was Capri. Capri was an island paradise, incredible vista's of the Meditteranean from 1,500 feet up on "the rock", fantastic native food, excellent native wine (@ $5/bottle), and great shopping. Luckily for me, our bags were full, so the shopping was limited.

We spent 3 days on Capri, and would have done far more had not Rome called to us. My favorite story from Capri was that we were sitting having lunch at a local bistro. After finishing our first bottle of local wine, I wanted to order another. Ms. "let's keep you out of AA" my lovely wife "suggested" that we didn't need another. At that point the fellow at the table next to us leans over, pours me a glass from his bottle, and says "you can never have enough wine". So, I just HAD to drink it...along with the 4 ADDITIONAL BOTTLES that he ordered.

As we're drinking for another hour or so, we're talking with the next table about traveller stuff. They were a group of 6 all related who were on their way to see the Giants-Dolphins game in London...via Capri! They felt they needed some wine first, I guess.

Anyhow, the one gal says that they're from Texas (so, obviously Giants fans..you figure it out). So Kathy says "Oh, it must be so embarrasing to have Bush from your state". The woman replies "Oh, George is my first cousin". Kathy gets that look on her face and says "Oh, I'm sorry". The woman says "Don't worry about it". Kathy replies, "No, I'm sorry that you're related to him, THAT's got to be embarrasing"!

Her husband holds up his glass, toasts to the line, and we spend at least another hour drinking his wine...what fun!

Tomorrow, off to Roma!
