I am Not a Drunk

Contrary to ugly rumors we've been hearing, Steve and I do not spend our days drinking. We restrict ourselves to a bottle of wine at dinner and perhaps a glass of prosecco beforehand. However, as culinary tourists we do like to sample the local cuisine and our last night in Naples was no exception. That night we dedicated ourselves to eating il vero pizza da Napoli which unlike the thin crusted pizza in Rome is made with a thick, chewy crust. We ate outside at an charming restaurant with the obligatory wood burning oven, drank a bottle of the house wine and ate a delicious pizza while listening to the babble of Neapolitan families chatting at high volume and high speed.

I must confess, however, that I prefer the style of pizza in Rome.
