Mama needs a new pair of shoes
I have decided to put advertising on my site. You may have noticed the public service banner that has turned into advertisements for whatever the Google robot has deemed relevant to my site. (I'm not sure how well the robot can read, because first thing this morning I had an ad in Italian for the Italian Communist Party. Lawd knows I don't be talken bout no politiks on this herr new fangled blawg thangy.)
Anyway, don't be alarmed! I have simply sent my blog to work the corner and I'll be here to slap it and tell it to give me my money.
Hopefully.

Good morning from Arizona.
Somehow, I stumbled onto your blog and couldn't stop reading it. I particulary enjoyed the photos and your commentaries,especially while in Venice.
I first visited Naples in late January of 1958 while in the US Navy. I was a scared 17 year old visiting a foreign country for the first time ever from San Francisco. But, with the warmth and charm of so many Italians, I felt right at home for whatever reasons. To this day, I still have so many fond memories of Italy, not the least of which comes from the song, Bolari (sp?), which became popular about four months before it hit the states and I got to sing-along for the entire spring of 1958 while still in the Med. I took the train from Naples to Venice and loved the trip. Maybe you took the same train ride?
I returned to Italy again in 1960 for another six months of going in and out of Italian sea ports from the north to Sicily in the south. Saw Pope John 23rd on this trip in his summer home. Most interesting as it was more like a rock concert than a holy day.
Well, I'm sure I'm boring you, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your blog. I'll check in every once in awhile. Good luck with the family and boyfriend stuff and don't forget to wear your slippers. :-)

Ok people, dont freak about the "Communist Add". What you have to understand is that The Comminust Party in Italy is a bit different the Communist Party that we Americans have all grown to hate. This is coming from a conserative Indiana girl living in the heart of the "Red Lands" of Italy. In fact, I STILL don't understand why they even called the Communist Party in the first place since it is so different. At the end of the day, the Communist Party in Italy is just the far far left party, what we would call extreme liberals in America (or far left democrats). And no, I am NOT a communist OR a liberal (which makes living in the Red Lands all that more funny).
Now as for this add thing.... let me know what kind of dough you bring home. I had thought about doing it, but didn't think it would really make much. Good luck though!

Hello!
Mr eprof.... I think the name of the song is "Volare":sung by Sinatra by the way!
Volare, oh oh, cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds,
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find!

Cara Cowgirl (AKA American Girl in Italy) - May I suggest you use Yahoo ads instead of Google. They actually pay and respect the contract.
In Napoli you can get some great handmade shoes however the first bucks should be spent at Marinella for hubby!
