Yesterday we arrived in the small hilltop city of Potenza! The bus trip from Naples took us through incredible valleys and steep mountains capped with fresh snow. With the help of our AirB&B host, we moved into a super cute little apartment in the middle of the historic city center (centro storico). There are plenty of cafes and restaurants, a local food market with everything we need, and it’s a fairly short walk down the hill to the Universita Degli Studi Della Basilicata (also known as “Unibas”) where I am being hosted by Sergio Longhitano, a fabulous sedimentologist and professor at the university. It is exciting to have this chance to work with Sergio and learn from him!
So glad you are settling in nicely, and what a cute apartment! I love these tightly packed, narrow streets and the ascending balconies in these little Italian villas. Divertiti!
Thanks Mike, great to hear from you!
