Saturday we visited with some Italian friends from Bari. They took us to several beautiful towns that were incredible. One was a town called Alberobello which was built in the 1500's. All the houses are white with rock roofs shaped like cones. The roofs do not have any mortar to hold all the rocks in place. They have a capstone on top like the middle top rock in an arch that keeps everything in place. They were such cute little houses. It seemed like little people should live in them. But they are all lived in by regular size people or they are a shop in front and the people live in the back. It was one of the most unique towns I have ever seen. After walking up and down many streets, we had a picnic of focaccia which is a specialty of this region. It looked like pizza, but wasn't anything like it. There's a picture of it at the bottom, with Gabriella and her son Marco .
