As Carol and Roger continued their bike tour of southern Italy, they passed from Calabria into Puglia.
Puglia is the “heel” of the Italian boot.
All along both the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic, beachfront communities glowed white in the sun and sand. Carol ran into a minor bike problem, and we had to stop for a day to get repairs.
The placed we stopped was Otranto, a small city on the Adriatic that grew around a Spanish fortress built to protect its citizens from Turkish invasion.
The town is a mix of Spanish and Greek styles.
Walking around the old city, you get overwhelmed by the color white.
So much so, that any bit of color really stands out.
We thought you might enjoy the color contrasts.
And for the sixth time in this year’s travels, Carol got to wade in a different ocean or sea.
