Day 2 in Matera was sunnier than Day 1 and equally full of sights and discoveries. We walked around and about, up and down, in and out of the seemingly endless stone streets of this amazing ancient city. One museum display said that Matera has been continuously inhabited for the past 4,000 years, which makes it a lot older than Eugene, Oregon! We walked down into the deep river gorge next to the cliff-top city, crossed a shaky suspension footbridge crammed full of Italian tourists, and hiked up the other side for a bit of exercise and more stunning views.
We are now back in Potenza, working on our various projects. Happy to say that we will return to Matera in 10 days for the Tidalites Conference!
