Wedding Pilia

Made it to Pulia, a region in the south of Italy for a friends wedding. We drove out of the mountains of Abruzzo and into a mostly flat landscape. If you have never been there think of stone walled gardens and fields, fruiting cactus, crystal waters, heat and the best mozzarella/ food ever. It is obvious that this area missed the abundant times of the North but what is there is an Italy that hasn't changed itself for tourism. The food is amazing and in this dry land we found the abundance of Italy alive. The Southern Italian wedding was like a dream. Both the bride and groom couple live in the valley but had family come from everywhere. The group was midbogglingly global. It was so fun to see so many people from so many places and languages enjoying friendship together. It was a reminder of how rich life can be because of our differences. We ate and danced, and ate and danced, and ate and danced. A really sensational occasion to be a part of!
