The French architect-decorator, Robert Couturier, whom my old dear friend and mentor Tice Alexander jokingly called "Bob Taylor" said something about paradise being a place where you go when you are dead- and we all know what he meant- he had a Naples client when he was quoted as making this very Gallic acerbic remark- and it is funny.
These snap shots capture a tiny glimpse of Christmas in Naples- where opulence is making a huge comeback- it's only just beginning.
I so enjoyed the visit from my family this year, and we made the rounds from the Ritz Carlton, to Tarpon Lodge, to Third Street South. I saw many, many old friends and acquaintances and was so happy to see them. One's true wealth is measured in health and friends and family.
Trusting that all of my readers and followers had an enjoyable holiday and will have an even better New Years Eve and New Year! Here comes 2017! Ready or not! DF *****
