So much for the idea of a blog diary of our Italian course - we are just working too hard. However we had an outing to Alberobello yesterday evening and I arranged a religous parade for the girls. Here you can see the town's patron saint on her way to the church.

We had a good view point as we were investigating cafe society just then.

Here's a good view of the little Trulli houses. They were originally made with dry stone walls - as there was a tax on houses this meant that they could be instantly turned back into walls when a inspector called.

The church was interesting - it had a great door.

After the walking and the cafe bit, we raised our game and went for cocktails.
.

Then we staggered off to our restaurant to have an amazing meal. The antipasto was so huge that only two of us managed a main course.
.
Back to work today, slaving in a hot studio.

sounds like great course and a great place
What a fab door! I can see those Trulli Houses working as a smashing fabric collage. Glad to see you took crative refuge in the cocktails, lets face it many of them are design virtuosos in themselves!
