Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
After three nights in Polignano, it was time for our next stop - Santa Maria di Leuca. This seaside town is at the very bottom of Italy’s heel and attracted my attention with its location which is precisely where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet.

It means I’m dependent on others to take … Continue reading Water and weed aka home owner woes
