Olive Trees


Staying our first nights at Masseria Torre Coccaro a luxurious small inn built out of a former (16th century) farm complex complete with a chapel. It is close to the Adriatic along which we walked a harbor this morning in Savelletri. Olive trees including ancient ones are everywhere including on the Masseria property as the one pictured. Also seen fig and pomegranate trees, many planets we have in Florida and agricultural produce including chard and zucchini. Prickly pears are numerous and we hope to sample the cooked version. This afternoon is our first bike ride and orientation meeting. There are about 22 in the group. Weather perfect today.

Looks like you and Judy will have a wonderful trip. Jane and I enjoy seeing your pictures, reading your commentary, and remembering the days we spent in the area.
