Time for AIS Napoli's annual summer get together starring spumante and champagne. This year the organizers wanted to do something big...something huge. So last Monday evening we all headed to Nabilah, a beautiful lido in Bacoli (Na) just in time for a spectacular sunset. A cool breeze from the sea greeted me as I greeted friends, many who I haven't seen in ages. We talked about the past year, plans for the summer and beyond.
Spumante? Plenty of it and we were not disappointed. And what better way to celebrate summer than by sipping your favorite bubbly on the beach?
