Our son Bruce on the balcony of our apartment No. 100 Via A Grande in Commenda, a suburb of Brindisi. We were on the first floor of a seven story building.

Alberobello, Italy and trulli houses. Alberobello is about 60 miles north of Brindisi and is world famous for these unique houses built 100 years before Columbus sailed to America. The houses were built using no mortar. The town is also famous for woven wool bed covers.
