Looking at the photos I took today, I was reminded that I still had photos on the card from our 4th of July trip down to Naples.

These are a few sunset shots.

I got others that day, but I haven't gone through them all, yet. It was an interesting day. We arrived there at about 1:00 in the afternoon and parked ourselves at safe, but respectable distance from the pier (where the fireworks were to be set off from). It stayed pretty sparsely populated until about 6 or 7 when droves, and I mean droves, of people started arriving. And in quintessential Naples style, the 'beautiful' families set up elaborate buffets of food and were drinking wine from crystal glasses. Rich people live so funny, lol.

But anyway, the sunset. I was a beautiful one...
