After exploring the castle, we took the funicular back down to downtown Naples. We walked around the crowded streets. We found book alley and music alley! Mrs. McCreedy LOVES books so it wasn't surprising that flat Mrs. McCreedy made a beeline to the shelves!
We even ran into our neighbors in book alley. They were headed to music alley because they needed something for their guitar. Small world!!
As we continued our walk, we found a cute little pasta shop. We couldn't resist going in and looking around. The little man offered us almond cookies as we browsed. We had to buy some pasta. It was hard to decide what to pick. We ended up with pasta that looked like the Italian flag. We asked if he wouldn't mind taking a picture with us. I tried explaining who flat Mrs. McCreedy was but I think it might have been lost in translation. He just laughed and smiled for the picture!
We stopped for pizza a yummy pizza shop. It was a typical Italian place. We had no idea they had a sit down area but told us to come in. We walked in and upstairs and it was full of people and tables!! The pizza came upstairs on a little elevator, like a dumb waiter. We were checking out the fried pizza the people sitting next to us were eating. They offered us some to try, but we said "No" Only in Italy would people offer a stranger food off their plate. We finished up and headed out the stairs that were tiny and twisty. Nothing you would ever find in the states. It would have been in violation of way too many rules!! On our way back to the train, we noticed many shops had zeppole out to buy. They looked so yummy we had to try them. It was a great treat but the girls preferred their gelato. Daddy and I had a cafe and then we finally were ready to board the train to head home. It was another fun Italian outing!!
