My friend Stephanie served as a great tour guide taking us to The Duomo in Naples and the Botanical Gardens, which are by appointment only, so we felt special being able to go there and picnic on great sandwiches that we had picked up at the Salumeria outside the gates. We explored the sites with Stephanie, Brandy and Adrienne, taking out time absorbing the amazing marble-work and frescos at the Duomo and neighboring churches and chapels, and than meandering through the serenity of the Botanical Gardens. All in all a great day taking in the sites, while my folks got to also experience what it is like navigating the Napoli metro system with a stroller. This city isn't big on elevators and ramps, so lugging the stroller up and down staircases of stations, and of the busses and trains themselves becomes part of the overall 'living in Napoli' experience. The extra hands of my parents made all the difference!
