Napoli Capri and Rome

Took a couple day trip to Napoli and Capri. Napoli is awful. I kept trying to find something to like in it but, it wasn't there. the Archeological museum had amazing things, but treated with an off hand and somewhat despairing quality. It would have been better to have left them underground. Perhaps the fact that they haven't picked up the trash in, I don't know, years? may have contributed to the experience but there was nothing to recommend the city. sorry.

here is the best I could find, the Palazzo Capodimonte in very pleasant weather. at least no trash.

Capri was much better. small winding paths with astonishing views of the blue-blue sea. it had the same character as other islands for the wealthy, attractive, closed and too precious. I liked it though, particularly after Napoli.

Back in Rome, which felt sweet. Beautiful organized, full of tourists of course but worthy. Did a sketch of a tempietto in the Gardini Borghese and this wonderful little pony cart with kids on other ponies in tow came around a few times. tried to catch them all. Sunday in the Park with Ponies.
