The food in Puglia is delicious. For this reason people are not happy when they have to wait for it.
There's seafood everywhere. In pasta, for example.
Mussels in Puglia are super good. The best I've ever had; I also tried my first fried mussel, which I had never even heard of. Reaaaaaally good.
Fish can grilled, with herbs and other delicious things inside.
Side note: This fish was grilled for my friend Eva, who spent her Puglia vacation with a terrible wisdom tooth-ache. She couldn't eat anything hard. On her second-to-last day, she had her tooth pulled by the friend of the father of our friends (yes, it's complicated, but the important thing to know is that our friends' father makes fake teeth for a living).
From then on, she was fine.
Fish can also be fried. In this case, it's sailing off the plate. Hence Francesca's un-photogenic expression.
You can eat sea urchins, too. But first you have to clean out all the sand and seawater inside them. The little ridges of orange are what you can eat; possibly eggs? I'm not sure what it is. The strangest thing is that the sea urchins are still alive while you cut them open and wash them out; all those sharp little spikes are moving around. It can be a bit unnerving.
When not stuffing yourself, it is worthwhile to go to antique markets and try on old-fashioned ladies' underwear.
It'll definitely fit you after all the eating.

Couldn't you choose a better subject for the second picture?... ih ih ih
concordo pienamente.
Voglio vedere le vostre facce quando siete affamati e stanchi dopo una giornata di mare! Con questa foto mi sono guadagnata il primo posto in classifica!
Francesca wanted me to admire those fish on the screen, didn't she? Grandma usually shows me pictures of mice, but those fish look nicer.
I had whitefish and tuna from a can today. Come home soon!
oooh, all that pasta and fish looks incredible.
