Nardo and the wedding


We are in Nardo. It is awesome. It is hotter than ever and super humid. 

A typical roadside stop welcomes us to Puglia.


The olive trees are 100s of years old in Puglia

Not what we are used to seeing by the highway.

The centro storico has many lovely unidentified buildings.





The symbol of Nardo is the bull. The story goes that people here were starving. (a common theme in Italy) and a bull pawed the ground with his hoof and water sprang out and everyone was saved.



Look for the cool reflection in the window that I did not even see when taking the photo.

Don't you love the little guy holding a skull. He is like uhhh why can't  I hold the book??

Above all this travel excitement is the excitement of getting all 600 photos from the wedding. I am so happy we have them and so grateful to Alexander Roberts for taking them. I think this will get you there to see them.  http://gallery.alexandraroberts.com/jessieandgina-1549214/



And then there was the wedding in Nardo.
