    Ah, Naples at night. What a magical place the old town is. Far more bohemian than my ill informed image held. I was on an evening food tour, and if you've been in Naples, you know how distracting that is! So these are pictures in the old town that has tremendous energy, not least because it's home to universities. So I'll mention what these photos are as much as I remember. (Not that Limoncello had anything to do with my memory.
    The 1st picture is the entrance to the Naples underground. This is an archaeological site that open up the original Greek streets and buildings from more than 2,000 years ago.
    The 2nd picture is an 11th century bell tower built for a former church that's been built over. So, the bottom several meters of the tower are buried from the previous street level up to the current level.
    The 3rd and 4th pictures are 2 of the main piazzas in the old town. They are central meeting points.
    The 5th picture looks over the Saturday night crowd along one of the main streets. And the last picture is in a small local limoncello factory. And yes, their products are top shelf.
