Gravina to Venice to Foggia
From Grivina we head back to the Adriatic coast to Trani. We rode mostly on back roads through agriculture areas. So much better then the busy highways. Planning the route before going makes it easy to find the less travelled roads which makes for a much more leasurely ride. Yeah for GPS! Along the ride there were many family parties we wish we could stop and join. But alas, we weren't invited! But we did run across a number of people picking something along the roads and fields. What could it be? We finally stopped and asked and found out it was wild asparagus, so of course we had to try our luck in finding some. We were able to get quite a nice bunch which we later cooked with tortellacci, a type of filled pasta, that Jim's Nonna used to make when he was a kid. We still make them at the holidays. Yummy! The first wild asparagus we picked. The pickings got alot better as the day went on. Asparagus tomatoes and Tortellacci Into Trani on a Mo...
