repost: Naples, take two (with Rebecca!)
I'm slowly catching up on travelogues from Fall 2019 through Spring 2020. for continuity's sake, the posts are back-dated to stay in order with contemporaneous posts from that timeframe, but I'm also going to be linking them here in real time so they don't get buried in the archives!
in October 2019, Rebecca flew across the pond again to join us in more Italian adventures (as well as branching off on several solo trips)! somehow she was not too traumatized by the experiences of her previous visit in October 2018, which included but were not limited to missing connections due to lack of cell service, torrential rainstorms, too many bus snafus to count, and the most infamous calamity of all when we missed our special guided tour of the Colosseum. doesn't Italy sound like fun?!
this second trip was a bit of vindication, however. we knew our way around the city better and we also had fewer moving parts to our planned itinerary for her visit! as it happened, we didn't spend much time in Rome at all. on her first night with us, we strolled down to Piazza Navona to get gelato and then just relaxed at the apartment.

| thank you, Aunt Becca!! |
the next day, we took the fast train to Naples to explore one of our favourite, most intense Italian cities. Nick had some obligations at the seminary, so he wasn't able to join us until later that evening. the girls were happily entertained during the train journey with their new coloring books and crayons. I'm telling you, train travel with young kids is the best!
