I went to my first concert in Marittima (actually Insenatura Acquaviva in Marina di Marittima). It was Gianluca Guidi paying a tribute to Frank Sinatra. It was like a Las Vegas act in Italian. It was a wonderful night, with the full moon and the inlet filled colorful lighting. Best of all, it is less than 2 km from home and it is easily accessible.

I recently moved into a house Marittima (LE). This was one of the views from my 4 km walk this morning. It is a view of the seaport town, Castro, in the distance. (at Castro Marina, Puglia, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRBMdWxtnb0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The last time we are able to see the sunset on the Ionian Sea until after the long Easter weekend. (at Morciano di Leuca) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMbrS6kjJem/?igshid=1qhzukszvg6o9

Here are some additional views of the Christmas decorations in Piazza Sant’Oronzo, Lecce, Italy. Santa Claus even made a visit to Lecce today. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrNmKrDt2m/?igshid=1auxre8m2639s

The Christmas lights of Lecce were turned on yesterday for the holiday of the immaculate conception. Today it rained which adds the reflective beauty to decorations. https://www.instagram.com/p/CImMZ_zjKjL/?igshid=i66cssmk14zx
