Episode 101: Only in Naples, Adventures in Italy - Part 3
Welcome to Episode #101:
Today I go on another travel adventure and share some of the story of my Naples travel experience…. To say the least Italy is always an adventure, as it turns out so is my life. I reflect on our time in Naples and the magic of travel, friendship and serendipity, the Patron Saint of Naples - San Gennaro, and the books that call you without knowing why.
If only I could read Italian - love this street of books on Via Port Alba
Wandering up to visit the Catacombs of San Gennaro
“The Catacombs of San Genarro are underground Paleo-Christian burial and worship sites in Naples, Italy, carved out stuff, a porous stone”
The frescoes outside of the Hospital of San Gennaro
