Which one is Pinocchio?

One elevator and one hundred seventy three shiny, wooden, never ending find-me-a-spot-to-sit-down-soon-stairs, took us to the top of Torre del Moro for a spectacular 360 degree view of Orvieto.  We were up-top long enough for the huge bells on the top of the tower to ring in our ears very loudly twice, which added nicely to the moderately dizzy space in my head from the zillion turns I made to climb up the steps! (See photo below)  Enough whining... the view was great. If I knew what I was looking at, or which way I was facing, I could tell you that I saw across the horizon to Monteleone, the town of my grandfather's home.

We stood on the steps of the Cathedral for the afternoon studying the facade and bas reliefs; up close, reading about each panel. Britt is learning lots of new architectural and biblical words.  At this point, we are sitting in the hotel room relaxing, I with a glass of wine, waiting for the folk festival to start in Piazza del Popolo!

Procrastinating while eyeing yer blog. I love all the photos and e writing but my definite faves are the Deb pointing at stuff ones. You and Stephen Colbert need to pose together,

Best meal of my life was in Orvieto in 2008. Andrew can tell you about his wine-tasting experience. Or I can when he's not looking.

We do miss you, but in some ways we don't want this trip to end. Since we will never see ourselves, this is almost as good.

As first digital drawing board it is good and to get started into World of digital drawings this is a good piece of equipment. I got 10 tips with the pen and a half glove for drawing so that hand palm doesn't come in way of drawing.
