i guess i was fortunate to spend about a year and a half of my misspent youth in Taranto Puglia a Greek city that was old before the Romans. i was probably a stockholder in Birra Raffo ..you could get 6 bottles over the bar for 600 lira (one U.S. dollar at the time)Image Not Found

re: postcards from Taranto

This one shows the movable bridge between the "old city" and the more modern city. The British flew in over the bridge and scuttled a good part of the Italian navy in WW2. We were not supposed to spend time in the old city with a heavy Communist influence..but money talks it was all good.Image Not Found

Funny, when I first saw the post I thought you had misspelled "Toronto" in Ontario, Canada! Big Grin

re: postcards from Taranto

when I was in Canada, we just called it "Tronnuh", for fear of being mistaken for a 'Murican...
apparently NOBODY pronounces it "Toe-Ron-Toe".... I also learned pretty quick not to pronounce the "K" in Etobicoke!

How about Kejimkujik in Nova Scotia or the Annieopsquotch Mountains in Newfoundland?
