#16 Naples

Another fun part of Long Beach is the canal town of Naples. This area is really close to me, and I've driven past it literally hundreds of times but have never explored. It turns out that Naples is a lot like Venice, but closer to me :-)
The most famous part of Naples is La Bella Fontana di Napoli. This is located in the city center and is knows as the
most popular meeting place in the area.

The canals in Naples feed right into Alamitos Bay.

Look closely in the window ... there's a carousel horse!

Captain Morgan guards the canals of Naples. We found at least three statues of him around there.

The house I want. It's beautiful.

It wouldn't be a proper canal without gondoliers! These two waved and posed. We didn't hear them sing, but we
heard one of the other guys. It was ... painful. But he was pretty, so we didn't mind so much.

The whole neighborhood was hardcore decorated for Halloween. I'm totally coming back for Christmas. I can't wait to see what the denizens do for the holidays :-)
