01.24.08 Matera, Italy I am continually amazed at the places the Lord guides me.I drove up from Sicily battling 40mph winds which was pretty interesting.Several times I was literally riding sideways!It is amazing that I did not get blown off the road.Because I had a horrible stay the night before I was determined to make it to Matera.Wind and Rain did not stop me and I prevailed and wow am I thankful.I feel like I am in a fairy tale or something.Matera is ju...

AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to expound on this blog entry. Stay tuned and in the mean time be sure to check out the blog entry from Sferracavallo the most recent one with substance...it is a pleaser for sure. And don't forget all the pictures to go along with it. I actually stayed 3 nights in one place!!! And now I plan on doing the same here in Matera. It is just that nice!

Wind and rain, wind and rain. Not much again to see on this side of the coast. Pretty deserted and just a single beach that stretches for miles...the hills are to my left with a huge plain and then the sea. All the houses and towns are very spread out and if they were big and well kept it would remind me of the states

Crotone was an okay city with clean streets, but no hotels and definitley no hostels. From now on I am going from hostel to hostel and hostels are what will dictate the cities I stay in and visit! I am done with horrible hotels that cost way to much money

Not much to see on this side of the coast....some what like the south side of sicily...beach beach beach with larger spread out towns
