We are stamped, sealed, and officially here
After another trip to the questura (police station), and two more sets of fingerprints, we received our official “papers” (actually something that resembles a fancy credit card that sparkles). We have finally been granted permission to stay. What a relief!
The weather, meanwhile, has been lousy: cold and windy and grey. We’ve been waiting for some real snow, which did finally come this week – outside of Foligno. In town it was never much more than a dusting. Even so they closed the schools for two days. Today we headed up into the hills and had a beautiful cross-country ski adventure in pristine and deep fluffy powder.
I’ve discovered some new materials with which to work, and in the cold grey days of winter have been getting a fair amount done in my studio. There’s a new page where I’ve posted some of the recent work you can find it by clicking here
I am trying to figure out where this photo is taken from??? I LOVE your new work. It appears that your trip has been very inspiring for your work! I miss you and hope all is well. YOu are not missing anything here in terms of winter at least! Love to you and Al, Kristen
Kristen: If you go down to Chiara’s house and keep going straight (where the street becomes pedestrian only) at the end of the street near the schools, turn around and look back; I think the tower is from the old church that is now the auditorio san domenica. Get it?! We miss you guys a lot.
AH yes, I thought it was in that general area but couldn’t quite figure it out. I really love the work you’ve posted and your photos are fabulous! Miss you tons, Kristen
Thanks Kristen, We miss all of you guys up there in the hills tons too! It won’t be long though before we’re home. Any chance you’ll sneak over before garden season is in full swing?
love the pic. so they took al’s prints and they are still letting you stay?hurrah! hope you are having fun-dan
I have been trying to figure out how I might be able to swing a quick trip this spring…we shall see! It’s going to be a long ugly pre-spring if we don’t get a little snow soon. Miss you.
We sure do hope you figure it out! We miss you and would so love to see you over here – even briefly!
Yea, pretty cool that after three versions of finger prints they haven’t figured out how to ship us home, yet! We are still working on the fun part.
