As I mentioned in my last post, Sunday we went to Polignano a Mare to watch the Red Bull World Championship Cliff Diving competition. We took the train with our friends Maurizio, Roberta, their son Diego and an American student that they are hosting for two months, Nicholas.
It was a very hot day (around 100°), but the setting was perfect. They say there were around 70,000 people there with several hundred boats looking on. With that large of a crowd, it was a little hard to get a good vantage point to watch or take pictures, but I tried to find some of the photos that would give you a feel for the place and event.
My hat is off to those world-class athletes. They were really something to watch. What an exhibition of bravery and athleticism.
We went home hot, tired and inspired.
I’m loving the photos you’re taking, but you keep leaving out the really important stuff — FOOD! Tell us what you’re eating!
