Napoli football!

And by football I, of course, mean soccer haha.

We went to the Napoli vs. Paris Saint Germain game on in November and it was awesome. It was a champions league game and the stadium was packed with people, I am pretty sure it was sold out. The Napoli fans are amazing. So loud and excited and just fabulous. The key is to get their early and get a good seat because if not you will be sitting on the bottom row or in the aisle. Seriously it was so crazy everyone is just packed at the top of the stair case it was almost impossible to get in and out that one time I needed to go to the bathroom but it was fun all the same. It's like that saying just because something is different doesn't mean it is worse. We have gotten quite used to the Neapolitan way so it doesn't bother us that things are chaotic and unorganized. At least not in this situation, ask me next time I am using the airport ;)

The atmosphere was fabulous and it is just something that needs to be embraced! We went to another game in December with our friends and we got to sit up higher which was nice because you got a view of the whole field at once. Napoli actually won that game.

Then we went again in March, just Clark and I, to watch Juventus play Napoli. Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Juventus and if you didn't know he is basically one of the best soccer players in the world ever and probably is the best player right now. Napoli lost that game but it was still just as fun and exciting. I am not sure if we will go to another game but they are fun to experience and I am glad we got to go to three games will living here!

Valley of the Mills, Amalfi Coast

I know I never share anymore here... sorry. It's not because I don't want to. I just find it kind of daunting to edit all the photos and type out the recap so instead here are unedited photos from our hike in the Valley of the Mills on the Amalfi Coast from a couple Saturdays ago. Follow my instagram @carleewengel for more real time updates and just more updates in general. The hike was fun and tiring but mainly beautiful. Some photos are taken with my DSLR and some are iPhone photos.. you can probably tell the difference. 

Morocco Video!

I finally put together a video from our trip to Morocco last November! It was fun to make and remember the adventures. 

Fez and Chefchaouen, Morocco

Both cities were lovely and quite different. Fez was busy and bustling and felt like an authentic Moroccan city! We had a tour guide to walk us around the Médina and we got to see all the cool shops and how people make silk scarves by hand and of course tan the leather. We got to see the oldest university in the world and a mosque where both men and women can pray together. (Usually only men can enter the Mosques.)

The locals were buying food and other goods. They were going to prayer. Where donkeys passed us in the walkways hauling garbage or luggage or other goods (no cars allowed in the Médina.) There was amazing architecture and wonderful food!

Chefchaouen was a little more touristy. The spaces were more open and lots of people spoke English. It also rained and was cold when we were in The Blue Pearl so there wasn’t as many people about. I had the best lamb tajine in Fez and again in Chefchaouen. One of the tastiest things I have ever eaten! 

Also so many kitties in the cities! Clark and I made a “song”...

Countryside’s are for the doggos

And cities are for the kitties

PS. And yes I know we went to Morocco in November and here I am posting about it in January. I honestly was kinda like maybe I don’t post about it at all but not because I didn’t enjoy it we LOVED Morocco but just because I have so many photos from it then it gets overwhelming but hey here I am with a post. Maybe in 2 more months I will post again about this trip… who knows. haha.
