John, Dave and I walked this morning before breakfast. We walked down to the square (see photo) and on the way passed the small hotel we had stayed in previously. After breakfast, Manuela took us for an orientation walk around town (see Manuela holding an Imperial lemon - huge!). We then split off and went shopping in the old part of the city. We tried to find the little shop that Lana remembered from our last trip, but they were no longer in the same spot. We stopped to have a pizza lunch bear St. Antonio square and were serenaded by a group of men – they were playing and singing a combination of Italian, Spanish and American songs. We went back to the hotel to put our feet up for an hour and then Kelly, Susanne and I went out again (Dave had had enough of shopping – Lana and John had gone on an optional tour to made pizza). We returned after an hour or so and picked up Dave to go to dinner. We decided to go to the Foreigner’s Club, which is located on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea with Mount Vesuvius in the background. There was a small wedding taking place at the Club, but since the side of the room was open to the dining room, we were able to see what was going on. The entertainment was a troupe of Tarantella dancers – it was quite lively. At one point we heard Taps being played, but it segued into a lively tune so we knew the wedding wasn’t over as we first thought. We heard the wedding march and that prompted the entrance of the wedding cake on a rolling table. Kelly was aghast as we saw one young lady wearing a black dress, black stockings, and white shoes! Most everyo9ne was very well dressed, but we did see one young man in a tee shirt and hoodie! The dinner was very nice, but we certainly enjoyed the unexpected entertainment.
