on this day, we stopped in Otranto for a bit. (when you pronounce it, put the emphasis on the 'O' - so, OOOtranto). this is the town just a few miles away from k & h's town. its right on the ocean and still protected by the remains of the castle walls. it reminded me of jamestown a tiny bit. we ate some more doughy, cheesy goodness. then hit the road. we traveled over to Gallipoli, a lovely little island town, on the other side of the heel of the boot. we got there during nap time, so while nothing was open for awhile, we just walked around the town and looked at the water. we tried to find a fountain. but found an open bar/cafe instead. beer then cafe, another beer then more cafe.
then we arrived at the open fish market, just as the guys were carrying buckets of seafood off of their boats. the fish were all moving a bit too much for me so i watched from a distance. it was so great to see though, they just live off the sea and land. whatever is there, that is what you eat. its a shame i don't like seafood...
kevin led yet another excellent italian meal. we ate until we couldn't really move. then we all went to beerbonti. it only took an hour for kevin to be on the microphone and mike to find a guitar on stage.
