Italy- amalfi coast and naples

Wow what a whirlwind of a trip. We are winding down after being on the road for 2 weeks straight. We spent a few days on the beautiful Amalfi coast in southern Italy. We did the "walk of the gods" hike one day and we hiked mt vesufious one day. Unfortunately, its been pretty rainy but we had some good times and good stories with my sister and her husband. On our last day we went to visit Naples. We were on our guard because we heard it is dangerous down there. We went to a little cafe and had pizza and the world famous naples espresso. It was by far the best espresso I've ever had. It was so thick you could stand a spoon up in it. About half way through our meal a local italian man comes up to us and says that we should be very careful because it is a dangerous area for tourists. We spend the rest of the meal scared to death looking at every person that passed us and then we went straight to the car. I'm not sure if the guy was just pulling our chain but we didn't want to stick around to find out. The driving in Italy is soooo crazy! During our 2 weeks our car was clipped 3 times!! As we were packing up to leave adam calls to me from the other room asking if he could throw our shampoo away. Since we had only carry on bags with us we had to buy shampoo in Italy. It was late at night on our first day there so we went to a corner market and bought this nasty brand called Cien. We used it for 2 weeks as shampoo, soap, detergent, everything. So adam asks me if he can just trash it. Sarcastically I call back that we should have a goodby ceremony for it. Suddenly Adam starts singing "you lived your life like a candle in the wind..." In his most serious signing voice. I was doubled over on the ground I was laughing so hard.
