“……everybody must get stoned…”
We have visited a few Cathedrals, Duomos, Chapels. After reading “The Pillars of the Earth” by K. Follet, the lives of those who tediously cut all the stone for decades (lifetimes) on end came alive for me.
I have had fun looking for the fun they might have had expressing themselves, when block after block got too much.
So how about inserting a family member or a self-portrait? And then laughing, thinking about all the people to come who would wonder about the significance of that random block. So you leave your mark and then go back to making the square ones.

Hi Debbie,
We’ve enjoyed reading your blog since we’ve been home although reading it makes us miss Montalcino even more. It does make us happy to see that you’re enjoying the area so much. I’m really glad you had a chance to play in the Madonna. It’s my favorite church there.
I wonder if you could email us the photo of the DuPree family you took and also the picture of you and Steve with us. Somehow we left Italy without a single picture of the DuPree clan all together. I do have a pic of Steve and me taken at alle Logge, but none of you. We’d really appreciate it.
Have a wonderful last few days and say Hello to the Muggianu family for us.
Thanks,
B.
Have a safe journey as you make your way home.
