Then dinner back in th ghetto, un altro ristorante ruin'd by tourism, th 1 we used to call green door place now no green door + a legit name so greengos can find her take selfies of food. Kick'd us out b'fore we thru! Nothing good lasts forever, spose must get tiring serving same food up day aft'r day, th tiredness shows.

5 Dec | Posilipo/Naples> Italians voted last nite to reject referendum to change their constitution. Qualsiasi cosa significhi. What ∀ll this news dont talk about = failure of democratic process... perhaps general population shoont get to vote? Mos too stupid, buoy'd by faux news. This strengthening «populist» movement worldwide inevitably spells fascism + th only way to fight fascism = communism.. ± @ least non-democratic socialism + th only way to combat misinformation = more misinformation. drove from Amalfi coast thru Naples @ rush hour to Posilipo to see our old friends hung out on a sunny terrace looking out over bay of Napoli then walk'd down to th waterfront then for a run. Got sea urchin pasta + buff mozz pizza for dinner in Pozzouli.

6 Dec | Fiumicino> woke up in Posillipo, went + saw th nearby Solfitara volcano in Pozzouli .. crazy that it sits rite smack in th middle of Naples. Park your car + walk a few minutes + then you're in this lunar landscape w/ steam hissing out of fumaroles, fecund smell of sulfur ..

> then drove back to Rome but d-cided to stay down in town of Fiumicino near th airport, staying @ a hotel right where th mitey Tiber goes into the sea. Arrived just in time to watch ∀ll the fishing boats coming back + tons of people (+ cats) flocking to meet them + get fresh fish. Walk'd around, bustling port town no 1 ever talks about but pertty cool. Now about to go + eat ∫um of said fish.
