Bona Notte (Good evening),
Well, I must tell you that the cooking experiment had mixed results. The pecan pie did not turn out so good. The pie crust was in a paper container, not a tin container and did not survive. Also, the brown sugar that was used must have been old as dirt. Finally, we Italy does not have Karo Syrup, so molasses was used. It did not mix well with the bad brown sugar. I guess you can see why there are no pecan pies in Italy. The banana pudding turned out a heck of a lot better than the pie. The only problem with the pudding was of course no Nilla wafers and no vanilla. Can you believe no vanilla in Italy? Oh well.
For dinner, Daniele made frezo, hard crusted Italian bread, dipped in water, then add extra virgin olive oil, tomato and seasoned to taste. It is a very light and quick meal, but surprisingly fills you up. After dinner, we head to Lecce, the capital of the region by moonlight. 
It is beautifully lit. 
We get to see the duomo, bell tower and church. I hope that my camera can do it justice. The rest of the city is lit as well. The city was also a stop on the Appian Way, the famous Roman road through Italy and the world. The town square has a marker there. 
Another interesting fact about Lecce is that it had a coliseum as well. Not as big as the famous one in Rome, but it did have its own. 
Only a small portion is left today. 
But wherever you find modern civilization, you will find: 
Good ole Mc’D’s. HAHA.
We then turn in for the night. Tomorrow, we go to Otranto and Santa Maria de Leuca, one of the furthest points south in Italy, where the Adriatic and Ionian Seas meet.
