A LOCOROTONDO CHRISTMAS and a Hammock

A LOCOROOTONDO CHCRISTMAS! We finally made it, the holidays are infull swing. Shawn and I got to see Locorotondo with our friends Sharron and Martin...who just happen to be our neighbors. I put up a hammock and went plant shopping at some local plant nurseries Enjoy. We bought our house June 21, 2024. Had the interior renovated. And now the journey begins! So much work to be done on the land and the exterior. We'll do what we can ourselves and with the help of friends and neighbors we'll get the rest done. Our 400+ year old Trullo is a work in progress! I hope you enjoy the process! We are in the countryside between Ceglie Messapica and Martina Franca. It's called the Itria Valley. Lots of rolling hills and pine forests. Not what you think when you think of Puglia, if you have done research. But we are only 25 minutes from the coast with lots of beautiful beaches and blue zones. The Tour of Italy went through our city this year and biking is huge here. We bought 2 mountain bikes and will start to venture out. Shawn is a big cyclist. I'm not but I do like a nice ride every now and then. Our 2 dogs are settling in and are enjoying the Italian sunshine. I'm hoping to post weekly on Sundays. So subscribe to follow along. Ciao for now. Renzo #expatlife #travel #realestate
