Today we ride it see a village of Trullis. These cone shaped houses were at one time storage sheds for the farmers. The story as I understand, they would move into the Trullis to avoid taxes. In the right situation the could pull the keystone out of the arch and the roof would collapse and there would not be anything to collect taxes on.
The Cathedral of Albereobello.
On all of the chimmneys these caps were mounted. There were a few others one I didn't get a photo of was a peacock.
This couple has the Trullis we visited. The lady was one of 13 children raised in this Trullis. Amazing when you see now small this living space is.
Standing inside from where I am there is a small room beside me. There was a loft area above the room we are in. Frome left to right is Dr.T, David Sanborn, JB, Yevette, the tour guide and Tania.
Wandering down the lane we came up on this wedding couple. With lots of family and photographers
Following them.
Had to show you this. It is a drain pipe. Most of the water in these villages go into cisterns under the homes.this looks like it might be the head of a dog or a lion. It is hard to tell.
Little crocheted booties for sale in t shop window.
This is a beautiful ride. There is a fellow off to the right tending the goats. We we ride past he has a baby goat in his lap.
Passed this lady on here way to a vegetable garden. I think she was eating a slice of pizza!
Leaving our Masseria we go next door the another one for a lesson in preparing traditional Pulian pizza.
A couple of our favorite friends, T and JB.
Jim hasn't supervised in a few days, so he is quite a home here making sure the pizza master doesn't
Mess up.
Now everyone's has a turn at creative pizza making. Maddona and Peggyon the left and T and Jim
On the right.
Wallah! The finished master pizza! It didn't last long. It was really tasty.
The last of the sun and we head inside for a lovely dinner
There were 16 of us counting guides. They have several settings to their dinners. Notoriously making it
A very long evening.
Tomorrow we move on to a hotel called Tenuta Monacelli. We will ride along the Adriatic.
