Bari in Italy




I enjoyed our stop at Bari. Along the narrow streets, complete with washing and shops, life goes on. Suddenly, you come to a big open space and find a huge church. The day we arrived there was a special ceremony going on in the Orthodox cathedral to celebrate the life of Saint Nicolas, otherwise known as Santa Claus. His remains are buried here and there were crowds at the cathedral to acknowledge him. We also enjoyed visiting this castle. There was no charge to go in but the man in the office rushed out to give us a free ticket anyway.
