If you get tired of Naples and need some rest, head to the top of the city, to Vomero quartier. There’s the Certosa di San Martino. Entering the Certosa one can visit the churches and rooms turned into a museum. Behind the palace there’s a lovely garden with paths, orange trees and vines. Sit down for a while, rest your feet, eyes and soul.

These sport weight socks are knit cuff down with a fleegle heel. The heel increases decorate the back of the heel. A beautiful lace motif decorates the leg and the instep. The sample is made using a rustic kind of yarn that adds depth and interest to the pattern.
