A tiny little town named Altamura, we ate lunch, talked to nice people, and had a good time. My Dad took this pic of me baking the bread is awesome. I didn't see it till now.

The Big but Mini Trulli Town: Alberobello

Up on the hill in Alberobello we saw a sign for a miniature Trulli village. We went to the back of a gift shop and they had a really good mini trullo town... in fact, it was a duplicate of Alberobello, even with the trullo church at the top of the hill. This sure looked real. That's me and Mom in the photo above.
