Greetings
from Mamma Mia Island... well it sort of looks like it when you get out
of the old town and fortress parts... found an internet cafe behind a
old church...
have been all the way up to the new fortress which bounds the old city on one side and will now head to the old fortress... lots of steps, ancient ruins, beautiful views... well worth it. the sea is azure and turquoise and crystal clear, while the skies are carolina blue! Found some olive wood treasures ... and a beautiful oil/vinegar cruet but I don't think it will make it back in my luggage so that has to be left behind. Also looking at ancient greek and roman coin jewelry on this trip.. i have a collection of sorts, with a couple of spanish treasure coin pendants, an old roman pendant, and a greek one... but we are looking for one with an interesting setting. much of the gold here is 18 ct. thus far i have only seen one piece that made me smile. we noted where the shop is so perhaps on the way out??? We plan to have a beautifully presented greek salad for lunch along with local vino. we are so glad that we brought appropriate shoes as we have walked millions of miles on this trip and climbed thousands of steps!

Now,
let me catch you up on yesterday's wine tour to the Puglia region of
Italy. Our guides Giovanni and Maria took our group of 11 on the most
wonderful day trip to visit two vineyards, walking tour of Matera, and
lunch in a small local family owned trattoria. This entire cruise has
been wonderful, but this was a highlight... for some reason this greek
computer is not letting me write as much as I want to, so I am signing
off for now, but will send another email... Love and Kisses, from
Me
