May, 2011: Italy: Arrived at Villa Capelli

Thank heavens that Jennifer, our daughter, plugged the coordinates for Villa Cappelli into our Garmin GPS! Our brains were so fuzzy after the overnight flight that we never would have been able to navigate from the Bari Airport to Terlizzi without the electronic aid.

After greeting everyone, we went to rest before dinner. That was a big mistake! Once my head hit the pillow, I didn't want to get up. Roy decided to join me and we turned out our lights. Diane attempted to wake us around 8 p.m. for dinner, but I mumbled something about wanting to sleep.

A few minutes later, hunger motivated me to stumble out of bed and try to wake Roy. By this time, he was sound asleep and food didn't interest him as much as his pillow. I joined the group over at the main house for dinner which Paul had prepared.

While the meal is a blur, I remember enjoying it and the house red wine.
