27 November – 2 December 2013 – Lecce, Puglia, Italy

Lecce is in the Puglia region in the heel of the boot of Italy.  We went there because we hoped it would be warmer and we had heard that the food and wine there was fantastic.

Cassata and tartufo cioccolato (chocolate truffle) for dessert

Lecce is famous for its elaborate Baroque architecture and is often called the “Florence of the South”.
