Viva Italia! – Naples

Italians say when you visit Naples, you cry twice: once when you arrive and once when you leave. Crumbling buildings, garbage lined streets and a soiled reputation of mafia and pic pockets, Naples is not for the pampered tourist. But once there, Naples has a way of seducing the most apprehensive and intimidated, myself included. This ancient city founded by the Greeks today is home to the Margarita Pizza and some of the best seafood I’ve had.
