One extreme to another!
We left Bari on Monday morning. What a change. We arrived at Pescasseroli, in the mountains in the afternoon. This is a ski town. The town is at 3600 feet and the surrounding mountains are around 4800 feet. The temp was in the high 60's. We got up on Tuesday morning and it was in the low 50's. A long pants day for us. We took a hike up to an old castle ...
Our final full day - also know as Ike-UGH!
... marginal English, enough to where between his English and my Italian we were able to converse.

We passed more wineries and licquor distilleries along the way. Before long we began making the climb toward the village of Tornareccio. We arrived into the edge of town to find little ...
An introduction to Pescara (Part III)
... everywhere. The Italians seem to have mastered the art of "hanging out" as they seem to find ways to flock into small groups and chat excitedly. We walked past the shops and, not finding anything interesting, headed toward the boulevard passing in front of the Adriatic.
