Day Eight: Travel to Abruzzo. Arrivederci Giovinazzo. Said good bye to this gem by having early morning coffee overlooking the sea as the locals set up their beach day on the rocks below. Headed to home for Caesar, a couple hour ride north along the sea. Bella Italia! First stop was a visit to his beautiful Aunt and and cousin (visiting from USA also) in Francavilla and then late night “cena”with Caesar’s amazing niece and her partner in the city of Ortona, an important defensive port for Allied supply route during WWII. The Air BB here is a newly restored apartment with a big terrazzo and lots of room. Feels good to spread out and extra nice to have a washing machine since we are pretty much out of clothes now. We have an extra bedroom and bath here too, so if you’re so inclined, come join us!
Darby is a borough in Delaware County, Pennsylvania where you can stand with one foot in town and the other in SW Philly. It is bordered by Darby Creek. It has a public library erected in 1743 and a cemetery more than 300 years old. The Quakers lived there early in the colonial era. In 1900 3,429 people made their homes there in 1940 10,334 residents of Darby existed. It is here, in November 1960 where I had my first view of the world.
