Lubna got up around 5am, and I got up to say good-bye. She headed out around 5:30am. Then my alarm went off at 6am, and I had to go take my shower, eat, and finish packing. I was out the door by 6:40am after saying good-bye to Francesca and her father (I had said goodbye to the grandmother the night before). As always, good-byes are difficult, and even more so when you have lived together for 2 weeks! We had become part of each other's daily schedules and it was sad to leave.
The train to Bari left at 8:20am and arrived at 2:20pm. I checked in to the hostel, talked with a Dutch girl who was also staying there, and then I explored Bari. I made my way to the seaside, walked along that until I saw signs to the big church and to the castello (castle/fortress). I went inside both, but they weren't anything so special. The ticket for the castle (1 euro) was only to go inside a couple small museums, and you weren't allowed to walk along the wall or anything. The church was quite simple as far as Catholic churches go.
Then I walked around in the old part of town, working my way back to the newer area, where I ate a pizza and then got back to my hostel as it started to get dark. I called Mom and Dad and went to bed early around 10pm.
