The Sunday Salon: Italia! (Italy!)

 

Welcome! I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week plus it's a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

Even wonderful things must end. I'm on my way home to the US on a ten-and-a-half-hour flight from Italy this weekend. I hope to alternate resting up from my travels and visiting all of you as soon as I get home. I promise to share our Italy adventure fully with you soon.

We spent some time on our last days here wandering the old streets of Bisceglie, Italy. It's hard for this American to think about places, like the town where we are staying, that was first settled in the fourteen hundreds.

We've eaten so many great seafood dishes here in Puglia. This is an octopus, squid, and shrimp salad.

Readerbuzz is happily touring Italy in September.

I've scheduled a Sunday Salon that will post early each Saturday morning in September.

I plan to visit everyone's blogs as usual while I am away...

Here is what I am reading while I'm away in Italy...

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino

I finished one more book, and I plan to work on My Brilliant Friend on the ride home.
