Europe April/May # 25
Architecture and Santa Severina's (Italy) Hilltop Village
After visiting the Trulii homes, we had a surprise visit to a beautiful area set up for large parties, weddings, etc. We snacked on local food and tasted local wines
We found an odd situation. Old pieces of cut wood were piled on top of a stone wall
Throughout the area of Bari and Crotone, old buildings still reflect an older period of time
Viking has taken a page out of Downton Abbey. Much like Mr. Carlson (Butler) would carefully measure the placement of the dinner table service, Viking staff use a templet to ensure chairs and pillows are perfectly aligned. The staff is always cleaning and guests are asked clean their hands with a disinfectant spray as they enter dining areas
We were playing around with a "selfie" using the bus mirror - busses are run half empty
We happened to spot a "doll house" built with pieces of scrap wood
Plenty of hilltop villages and towns - We love the small ones
On our way to Severina
Many curves to reach the historical village

The fortress first started out with the intent of protecting the villagers. Overtime, the fortress was used to keep the villagers out of the place
A whistle - very rare
Flute: Also rare
