Held Prisoner in Hampton Roads

Fotographia . . .

. . . Casuale

The villa on the left is ours - or will be in a few weeks. We have a contract signing on 12 Jun. No one was around, so I had to take the photo over a fence down the lane.

This is the view from our back terrace. I would rather have had an ocean view, but the villa we looked at with a nice view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Ischia just wasn't right for us.

This little establishment, oddly named "Champs Elysses" is about a half mile from our villa. Specialties are pastry and gelato.

This is one of their two pastry cases. Four of my arteries clogged just during the creation of this photograph.

We couldn't bring it all home . . .

I snapped this photo of two rather foreign-looking types sampling the gelato.
