With my learning to configure this blog and internet issues in Italy, this is all a learning experience. On Friday I decided to use my smaller camera to take pictures of an old monastery that now is used by the University of Salento and got a couple of nice shots. The problem is that for some reason they won’t upload to the blog site. I just get an http error. When I go to help, it is written in a version of techno babble that is beyond my current understanding. I will load those pictures once I figure it out and use only my other camera until I find the cure.
In the meantime, last night we met up with the people who run a local tour company, Espressino Travel (www.espressinotravel.com), Lili and Robert. After an aperitivo at one of the local cafes, we strolled about town and ran into a lovely Irish couple that Lili and Robert knew and we all ended up eating what is claimed to be the best pizza in Puglia while sitting on the steps of one of the many churches in Lecce. We are told that is the only way to eat pizza here. By the time we were finished, the steps were full of locals eating their pizzas and chatting. In case it isn’t obvious, it was truly a magical evening.
I will post the old monastery pictures tomorrow.
If the old camera isn’t saving jpg/jpeg file, convert them then upload. Paing program can do save as.
Thanks, Charles. They are all jpegs, but for some reason the ones from the Nikon gave the error. I may have the solution, but I am out for the evening. I will try again later and it doesn’t work, I will come back for more advice.
Hi Jim & Holly. It was fantastic to meet you guys last night & to share Lecce’s favourite pizza with you. I am in awe of you’re big adventure & if if extends to a trip to Dublin, I would love to be your guide during your visit. My email is cooleenmccarthy@gmail.com. Keep in touch.
Cooleen, We felt the same way. It was such a wonderful evening and we are so glad that we got a chance to spend some time with you and Padraig. We have considered Ireland several times, especially if we need to leave the Schengen area for any length of time. Now that we have an offer of a tour guide, it becomes more attractive. We will definitely keep in touch! Jim
I am absolutely no help for you on that account. You guys are living in a DaVinci painting there! I love all the photos. Keep them coming. Kira’s wedding shower was yesterday and it was such a beautiful day for it too!! Claire came with Scarlett, and Kris did too, plus about 40 other friends and church members. Kira was so humbled by the generosity of everyone. Such a great outpouring of love and support for her. Just less than 2 weeks now before the wedding. Love you guys. Jerry
Looks like a great way to eat pizza! Happy Mothers’ Day, Holly’
!
That’s the most amazing pizza party I’ve ever seen. Looks wonderful.
Hope you had a great Mothers Day Holly!
