A
day trip to the port city of Brindisi reminds us both of the power of the
ancient culture as well as the devastation the economy as brought to the
community. But the harbor is a lovely
place with wide, open walking boulevards and a few restaurants on the
water. The castle still sits in place
guarding the vulnerable entrance to the city.
Between
here and there on the train, we passed miles of olive groves with trees so
large they looked more like old walnut trees.
Will get a chance to see them up close and personal next week.
