Arriverderci, Costa Orientale!

Our Lecce apartment alleyway

We had a relaxing weekend on the rooftop patio.... snacking, sipping and hanging laundry when the sun was out and the breeze was gentle. We are right next to the Accademia di Belle Arti and were entertained by some very talented students practicing classical piano pieces all afternoon. It was lovely.
Rooftop patio great all day and evening!

We leave for parts west tomorrow morning. While we've really enjoyed our time in Lecce, we both feel ready to move on. The least complicated way to get to the west coast is via train. We are biting the bullet and will take an eight hour ride from heel to toe to Reggio Calabria. We will report back on Wednesday as we leave RC and travel north to Salerno. A mercoledi, 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.

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.....
