My first picture of the island!

I’ve always wanted to see Capri, since I first heard about it decades ago. On my one previous trip to the Naples area, we had limited time and most of the people in my group wanted to see Capri, but I was/am a dutiful art historian and I wanted to see the Veiled Christ statue by Corradini and Sanmartino at the Cappella Sansevero. They took a ferry, I took a taxi. We both saw what we most wanted.

So you can imagine how happy I have been to return to Naples and this time to get to see the Veiled Christ again, but also to finally make it to Capri!

Woo hoo! Let’s get on the ferry and go!

Palazzo Te, Mantua.

I made it to Herculaneum finally! But, first I did some homework. I hope I never stop learning.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling well this day. The temps were in the 90s and we went to Aspen to escape the heat. It was there too. But, I tried to rally and took the gondola to the top of this beautiful mountain. The scenery was spectacular, even if my photos of it aren’t.
