I BELIEVE in everything you said. And the flower bush is a red peonies bush.. And my grandmother had several colors of peonie bushes. I stayed at her house every year from 10 yrs to 20 yrs until she was almost 100yrs old. She moved in with Mom and i. I will always and forever be thankful of what she taught me in life. The mind set of what you said. The only thing you can't do is what you think you can't do. My mother taught me how to build..At 45 yrs old she built on a 20 ft × 20 ft addition on our log home. From the footing on up the the roofing. Kitchen and large breakfast/dining room. My dad didn't do building. He was insurance and real-estate broker. Always gone working. I got the bite and in my life I went on to build Navy war ships. Thank you Grandpa for teaching my mother the trade. And the wisdom they gave me. In Jesus name Amen Love your videos.

My original plan was to replace and trade in the 1979 trailer on a new one. They didn't want the old trailer because it couldn't be transported on the highway. I also would have had get approval the town cuz zoning laws have changed and it was now a flood zone. Bring in tons of gravel with a concrete slab..big money! So I rebuilt the old trailer..new windows, doors and more . Tried to sell it but banks wouldn't finance it because it's was over 20 years old ..

I believe that there are two types of people, those that want to help others and those that want to hurt other people (and animals as well). On one end of the spectrum you have people who'll put themselves in harm's way for others, and on the other side you have murderous psychopaths. They blend together in the middle, so essentially there are three or four types of people with those in the middle being the majority. The problem is that those who are in the middle can also fall to one side or the other. The main issue, however, is that when you run into a bad person there's nothing that you can really do to avoid their wrath as it's not particularly focused, and they just lash out without question or focus at whomever crosses their path.

And the implication, Egypt, Mexico are better is just 100% LUDICROUS.

Like I said in my video I am not a negative person nor will I let this experience tarnish anything. I just wanted to warn people. Scammers well of course but it was far beyond that it was a neighborhood and a culture. It was not one person it was the area. They all stuck together like GANG mentality...And they jumped in my car and were frightening. Yes tried to scare me but the entire neighborhood supported this. This was the second time in Naples area. No more. I drive to Mexico and never had this happen not physically anyway...

Hi you are correct I did say Salerno and I did not catch that. I knew it was Sorrento why I kept saying Salerno maybe because I had driven through. Sorry you are correct. As far as Ischia or Capri at that moment when I arrived I did not know which one it was or either. That is why I said I am not sure which one was Capri and which one was Ischia. I have been to both just not ever seen them from this particular view. You are right I prob should have known, but how many Americans would have known off the cuff. I've taken the ferry to both at different times from Naples. Thanx for correcting me about me saying Salerno. It was a mistake.
