Florence Firenze

We're in Italy!!!!!!!!!!!!


And this is a much easier keyboard to use. And we're having the most beautiful weather too! We're joking that I'm going to go back to Amsterdam with more of a tan from London and Italy than we did from Jamaica. Does that name list sound like I'm bragging? I hope not... It's just been a busy busy year...

We found the church where Leanna's great grand dad's records should have been this afternoon. When we asked what to do, some very helpful ladies who work at the crypt museum there heloed us by getting all of the information, and translating it into Italian for the monsignior priori (head honcho priest) who's 94. He let us know that for the years we are looking into, we have to go to the Curio de San Giovanni which is in another area, and we didn't get to it early enough this evening, so we'll try again in the morning. They told us that all the birtha nd baptism records prior to the 1900's (roughly) would have been at this other chruch. We were just amazed that we found anything and it was pleastant to find such helpful people too.

I only have two minutes left...

And we found one of those places that makes paintings using thin sheets of colorful stones...I canàt remember the name, but we told them we'd send them the Awake! article about that type of art work. There are only 5 artists lefct she said...gotta post

Bye!!
