First day of Autumn equinox!

Saw a coyote looking for lunch, visited local business and hung out at the beach at low tide.

Seven days zoomed by in a crazy blur! We did a 5K walk on Ocean Cay, and the weather was perfect, breezy, and overcast. Same time next year!

Today’s lunch, our Puglia kitchen version of spaghetti ‘mbriachi (drunken spaghetti): spaghetti al primitivo.

Primitivo di Manduria DOC is internationally available, but you can substitute your favourite Italian red. Drunken spaghetti works well with Sangiovese or Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

Who likes taking cruises when you travel? It may surprise you to know that I do. Despite my love of slower paced trips, I enjoy cruises. If you do, too, I recommend @explorervacations.bsky.social to help you plan!

The day I did 100 pull-ups under 60 minutes, the trainers were more fixated on my age than the pull-up challenge. The Mr. Philippine bodybuilder champion, did his first 40 pull-ups with 2 fingers! #MSCWorldAmerica

Locorotondo in the Itria Valley is distinctive for its whitewashed buildings with cummerse roofs (from Latin cum vertice), steeply pitched-roofed houses. These structures are found almost exclusively in Locorotondo, and a few nearby hamlets, creating one of the most distinctive skylines in Puglia.

Ooops! I thought that I was buying Lucozade, the one for the poorly. That my Scottish Nonna would give me, when I was very under the weather, and away from home. Not in Puglia.

Turns out that my purchase was not Lucozade.

Visiting Puglia?

We just write about our region. We are not tour guides, trip advisors. We have no product or services to sell.

Yet, ours seem to be valued and helpful guides for those planning a vacation in Puglia.

Here’s what our readers have to say.

Tomorrow’s Feast of Saint Cecilia, marks the start of Taranto’s Christmas celebrations, the longest in Puglia.

At 3am bands begin their march through the city streets. As daylight spreads, fried pettole, dusted with sugar or drizzled with honey are offered.

A first for us. Looks like an English fry-up breakfast pizza. We have yet to find out where… but we are certainly up for it! Just add some Daddies or HP brown sauce!
I've been brunching again. I wasn't convinced when this turned up but it was actually very nice.

Quite a busy restaurant, not one that would be on most tourists’ radar.

Two things we love about the menu:

1. Certain dishes only on certain days.
2. Local prices - just take a look.

Today’s lunch was another restaurant we probably won’t include in our guides. Food, service and value was top!

But it’s really local, for nearby workers and residents. The prices reflect that, and while tourists would certainly love it, we don’t think that it’s fair.

Doing the right thing?

Taranto’s Christmas season starts on 22nd November, the feast of Saint Cecilia. The longest Christmas season in Italy.

Santa Cecilia is processed and local residents open their doorways to offer pettole, small golden fritters, to passers-by.

Christmas in Puglia has officially started.
