Oh, Contrarian! – Page 23 – Some thoughts perhaps not in accordance with prevailing wisdom

Cave Dwellers

We spent today exploring the city of Matera, which is something of a study in contrasts.

Today, the earliest morning of the trip, we bid farewell to the lovely Locanda del Sale; we had already said our goodbyes to our hosts Nicole and Nicola and their son Achille yesterday, and it was time to make some tracks.

And Now, the Feast!

Finally, tonight, the festa!

About the Contrarian

I’ve enjoyed two marvelous careers: first as a teacher of English and theatre (and, occasionally, psychology); and second as executive director of the North Eastern Ohio Education Association (NEOEA).

But I’ve always had other interests: public policy, parliamentary procedure, union leadership, music, genealogy, and photography. Since retiring in 2017, I’ve focused on those interests.

As is perhaps obvious, I’m still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
