Leaving
Matera (regretfully) we stopped at a park across the ravine to look back at
this remarkable city. I am trying to get
some photos uploaded as there are no words I can use to describe the last two
days. It is strange and beautiful and completely memorable. I am certain to return for further
exploration.
A
quick stop in Altamura for lunch and a walk through the old city from ancient
wall to ancient wall. Then on to our next landing pad at Monopoli where our loose
directions had me driving into the old center, getting stuck in a one-way
street, and various circles of hell before we were able to secure the car and
walk our luggage (ever augmented) into our apartment. Then up three flights. Then another flight. Exhausting and exhilarating
as ever.
