The most exciting adventure for today was finding these 4 pigs, who were very big, a bit smelly and kind of cute. Mom was very attracted to them. The plan for today was to go wine tasting, yet we are now going tomorrow with someone to guide us. So we decided to explore around Taranto and the Ionic Coast. We were hoping to find some small fishing villages, but never found them and instead found some industrial areas and an interesting coast line. We did venture into the Costco-esque store of Italy and found our way around to buy water, pasta, cream some Italian paper and some other goodies. Also it was extremely important to find a bathroom as both mom and I need to go pee so badly. So after 4 hours of driving around, seeing the coast and getting a bit lost, we decided to head back towards Martina Franca where we were hoping to find a restaurant that would be open around 4 or 5 (the restaurants here only open between 8 and 9pm for dinner). Well after driving around for ½ an hour trying to find the centro storico (historical center) we gave up and headed home. So our nice driving day ended up with both mom and I exhausted taking a nap when we got home. We’re not sure we’re eating dinner tonight because it’s a prefix menu and it’s expensive, so we’ll nibble on the breadsticks we bought today at the grocery store! Tomorrow is our last day in the Puglia region with the trulli’s and then we head over to the west coast to the Campagnia region and Amalfi.
