Hola and Benvenuto!
Did you miss me last Saturday? We were in Puglia, the heel of Italy's boot. Monopoli (yes, that's really the name), Martina Franca, Loco Rotundo, Mattera, Lecce, Bari- the names roll off the tongue promising such fun, such adventure. 500-year-old olive trees, with gnarled barks that remind you of the talking ones in "The Wizard of Oz." Lemon & orange trees in bloom, ancient streets and taralli! How did I not know about taralli?
Behind the Wheel I reflected on our trip.
Ah, Puglia.
We arrived home in time to help out at the Weston Memorial Fair and walk in the Westport & Weston Memorial Day parades. Always one of my favorite days of the year.
Yesterday we "talkers" gathered at Hofstra for the annual
Talkers Convention of radio hosts. Can you imagine all that gab? Thx to Michael Harrison for a great day.
