Busy Day in Naples

Headed over to the Naples Botanical Garden after lunch and found that was most interesting. Even though it appears to have been there awhile (everything was seemingly full-grown), the garden was only established in 2009 with some areas only finished last year. Attached are several pictures from the gardens. Then went to an amazing Catholic church for 4PM services, it was called St. Agnes and there
were no less than 1200 people at that service. The music director sounded like a cross between Michael Bolton and Billy Joel and was an accomplished pianist and organist, often playing two keyboards at the same time. No hymnals were needed since the church had four big screens on which all the readings and hymns were displayed, it was quite a place. Then traveled back downtown to the Waterside Shops and walked around there for awhile before having dinner at a California Pizza restaurant. Back home to get rested up for another tennis match tomorrow over at another State College guy's place not too far from here. There will be five of us from the PSU club playing tomorrow which should be good, hopefully I can keep up with them. The gals are all coming along and will spend their time at the poolside cabana while we play. Good evening.
