Bari, Italy

For my first trip outside of France, I had the chance to take a week off in mid-January and lolligag in the southern city of Bari, Italy. I was invited by my good friend Hillary who had just passed the weekend with me in Paris. In Bari we stayed with Danielle, a friend from Hillary's mission. This 63-yeared widow was an excellent host, and never ceased feeding us, or doing our laundry, or driving us around. Baris was an excellent place for shopping, and gastronomy--we basically spent the week gorging on the food we were fed by our Italian friends, and spending our money on the tantalizing shopping opportunities. We also had the chance to visit Lecce for a day, a beautiful, more southern city.

Can you see me?

They just kept bringing out the plates! This is when the bloating began.

Hillary and Danielle!

This is horse meat. I ate it.
