Just want to let you know how much fun it's been "traveling" to these faraway places through your pictures, to places I might never get the opportunity to visit. I know I could get used to spending some time there amongst the beautiful countryside and rustic settings! And just for fun, the funicular brings back memories of a song I learned in elementary school, whose words I've mostly forgotten, except "Funiculi, funicula..." Do you know this song? You'll have to let me know! :o)<br />P.S.<br />I'm also intrigued by your alabaster beads and the plans you have in store for them!michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354005893364951302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-58752896263281440342011-07-07T22:42:19.714+01:002011-07-07T22:42:19.714+01:00Ahhh Bethanie - how wonderful to have got engaged ...Ahhh Bethanie - how wonderful to have got engaged in Tuscany!
