So I havent figured out the space thing yet (I tried deleting older ones but that didnt help and I tried to use another blog site, but it wasnt working that well) but this should work for now. The link below is a link to all of the pictures I posted to facebook from Otrento. I can just do this for each post unless I work something else out. You get to see more pictures this way!

So Otrento was a beautiful little town right on ocean. What was really fun about it was we had no idea it was by the ocean until midway through our tour of the town and all of the sudden the streets opened up and there was the sea. bam. and it was the perfect day to view it too. Sunny, breezy and just the right temperature. It had been rainy and kind of gross the day before so I was worried about our weather for the trip, but after that day it was perfect.
So from the photos you can see we visited a funny little castle with some arrows in the middle of the courtyard. (They were obviously a modern exhibity) but the castle was pretty cool, plus from the top of the wall there were some great views of the city and the water. Then we went to a church built around the same time that had a beautiful ceiling and some beautiful decorative elements. We even went under the church to the underground chapel as well.
And the visit finished off with lots of spending our short amount of free time in the city on the rocks by the water. Everyone was anxious to get their feet wet (literally) with some mediteranean sea water and enjoy the best weather we had had in a while.
