Piazza Dante--the trash, old couples arm-in-arm, and graffiti give it a certain charm
Port'Alba with its used-book stalls
Fresh meat!
This cute street that sells granny-style nativity scenes. Seth hated it.
Painting pieces for the nativities
More pastries! The biscotti amarena (thick sour-cherry-filled cookies in the middle) were our favorite :o)
Looks homey
Narrow streets
Lunch: a folded-up margherita pizza. EVERYONE was walking around eating these.
Intestines and tripe hanging by hooks :o(
The very flavorful Spanish Quarter
Time for tiny coffees at the Galleria Umberto
Castel Nuovo
The lift to our hostel required 5 cents. Not a bad idea, actually.
Piazza del Plebiscito
Dinner at the best back-alley trattoria in town: 10euro (per person) for primi, secondi, contorni, pane, sparkling water, and all the vino we could drink!
For primi we had zuppa di fagioli (bean soup) and penne alla casareccia con salsiccia (pasta with sausage).
Secondi: bistecca (beefsteak) and swordfish with contorni of eggplant and mushrooms
I love how they are smoking in the kitchen!
Serious anti-theft devise
Back at the hostel, making lentils the night before forour lunch on the train in the morning.
The less-than-fast train. Luckily we had the cabin to ourselves!
