The train trip to Naples was interesting--beautiful scenery. We stopped at a number of small towns and watched passengers get on and off. There are many small vineyards, olive orchards and farms. Not as much livestock as I had expected. Some cows, all black, with swept-back horns, and one white goat.

Sitting across from us was a small girl and her mother. The girl looked like Shirley Temple, but her mom looked like Mussolini with hair. About halfway to Naples, the woman asked if she could have some of our water for the girl(we had two big bottles with us). She asked in Italian, but I understood, and gave her the unopened bottle. She offered to pay, but I smiled and shook my head. The little girl beamed at us as she quenched her thirst.
