Mercogliano, Avellino (Italy)

During breakfast at the Hotel Alimandi this morning, Nicky told me that we needed to be in Avellino by tonight.  As a result, we passed on the Rome sightseeing (we had our chance in 1997)... Taxi took us near some of the great sights - Coliseum, Forum, etc. Getting trains down to Naples were no problem - just had to change to get one for Salerno. Arrived before dark and picked up our rental car. As we drove out of town, Nicky and I got into a fight (I guess that's what happens after nearly four months apart!) about whether we should stop at the Via Vittorio Emanuelle (there is actually one in every city)... After some map searching, we arrived in Mercogliano, near Avellino, and checked in to the Titino Green Park Hotel. We watched some videos of the twins - funny ones of them in their bouncy chairs playing with each other. I miss them.
