Il Viaggio Comincia

sabato, 7 settembre,  2024
Ciao a tutti! Andiamo!  Hi, Everyone! Let's go! Two beautiful months living la dolce vita. Spending the night at JFK and flying out to Rome tomorrow. After a night in Rome, we take the high speed train south and east to the town of Bari. From there, who knows? So happy to share our travels with you. Our regular text messaging works in Italy, so if you can't figure out how to comment on the blog itself, send us a message. And for the Australians...use the same messaging service as if we were in the USA!

Note for future trips....don't come down with a bad case of Covid ten days before leaving on a two month trip! Thanks to all of you who checked up on us. And thanks in advance to all of you helping take care of our house, etc., while we're gone. You are The Best! A presto, amici!

Prima italiano...poi inglese Siamo a Bari! Siamo andati in treno. Abbiamo visto molte colline, molti flussi ed ulivi, e graziose fattorie piccole. Abbiamo visto anche vigneti pieni di uva. Il cibo qui è incredibile! È così fresco e delizioso e molto colorato. We're in Bari! We went by train, viewing many small hills, streams, olive trees and lovely small farms. We also saw vineyards full of grapes. The food here is incredible! It is so fresh and delicious, and also very colorful. More about our stay in Bari in a few days.

A Quick Trip to Rome and A Good Walk

We said goodbye to Mt Vesuvias and took the train up to Rome. We are staying in a small apartment in a residential area near the Vatican.  We wanted a day in the city just to wander, people watch and shop. We took a rather crowded bus to Piazzia Venezia, had lunch in Piazza Navona and eventually decided to walk the 5k back to the apartment. These photos are scenes from our fabulous stroll.....
