Mexican and moonlight

Thursday evening, after work me and Mark went to Heathers place (one of the american interns) where she was organizing a mexican evening. Another intern, Cara, had gone to Naples over the week-end to see some relatives who live at the US military base there. She was saying that it was just amazing how it looked like any suburb of an american town. You really felt an ocean away from Italy, and not just a mile. The shops, the food, the people, newspapers, tv, everything just directly imported from America. You could live there for years without having any clue about Italy.
At the evening, everyone except the two of us was American, and everyone except Mark was a law student (yes, you can pity him ;)). We had a really fun evening and great burritos, but didnt stay late as we were planning to walk home, which meant crossing all the town from the Vatican area to SanGiovanni. It was really nice, the temperature ideal, the full moon shining on us, the tourists busy with going out and the monuments deserted.
