We love Sicily, but we also love heading to the mainland. It's not a far drive to Apulia, the 'heel' of the Italian boot, and it has many hidden treasures. We loved exploring the trulli around Alberobello--it looks like a fairy tale. These dwellings stand in rows like little white beehives with conical roofs. On the trulli are different symbols: a cross, a menorah, an evil eye, star, etc.. No one really knows how these limestone trulli came to be, but many think they belonged to peasant Italian families in the 16th and 17th century.
