Naples

Lovely day full of mixed experiences.
We set off for Naples via short retail shot at the Goodwill store-stuffed with previously- loved designer labels.
Next some culture at an excellent museum in Naples which had proof once and for all that Florida did in fact exist before the 20th century- they have prehistoric fossils as well as lots of more recent artifacts,  all beautifully presented in a garden setting.  I did take issue over the categorising of Drake as a mere pirate but it would have been rude to challenge this officially as a guest in the US .....and I spose a little pedantic?

We had lunch on a pier and then it was back to the condo.  D and B had to go to a meeting of their owners' association so we  watched the final episode of Borgen which ended on a down note.  Their report of the meeting suggests that Danish politics is not so different from those found here in a gated community: D and B heard of secret meetings, attempted coups, past financial misdemeanours.  A case of life copying art or vice versa?
