Christmas In Naples - Walk After Dinner (Page Two)
Dinner is now a memory... The fires have been put out... Time to trounce on those pesky calories!
We walked about a mile but we take it slowly and look at the decorations so it goes fast!

Did You Know? - There are actually two North Poles. The first is the Geographic North Pole, which is, literally, the topmost point of the planet. The other is the North Magnetic Pole, which moves around on a daily basis depending on what's happening with the earth's magnetic field.
Average temperatures in January fluctuate between –45 degrees and –15 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures during the summer months usually hover around freezing. The highest temp ever recorded at the North Pole? A comparatively balmy 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
Time for a hot Cup Of Joe
Did You Know? - It's hard to give a definite answer to this question "Why is coffee called a cup of Joe" but after thorough research, it is obvious there a few feasable and likely reasons.
Josephus "Joe" Daniels, Secretary of the Navy during World War I banned alcohol aboard Navy ships, except on very special occasions. The crews average drink became a cup of coffee, or, as it was now referred to – A cup of Joe.
Well... You can decorate anything!
Looks inviting inside!
Joy To The World or "Joy"
Did You Know? - "Joy to the World" is a popular Christmas carol. The words are by English hymn writer Isaac Watts, based on the second half of Psalm 98 in the Bible. The song was first published in 1719 in Watts' collection; The Psalms of David: Imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship.
Watts wrote the words of "Joy to the World" as a hymn glorifying Christ's triumphant return at the end of the age, rather than a song celebrating his first coming.[2] The nations are called to celebrate because God's faithfulness to the house of Israel has brought salvation to the world.
As of the late 20th century, "Joy to the World" was the most-published Christmas hymn in North America.
You are being watched!
Feel like a Peeping Tom?
The Gnomes are watching
Did You Know? - A gnome is a diminutive spirit in Renaissance magic and alchemy, first introduced by Paracelsus in the 16th century and later adopted by more recent authors including those of modern fantasy literature. Its characteristics have been reinterpreted to suit the needs of various story tellers, but it is typically said to be a small humanoid that lives underground.
