We're leaving for Siena tomorrow morning, and the beginning scene of the last James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, apparently takes place there. I did not know this, and was pretty amazed/psyched to find out.
YES. so. Today we had a guest lecturer from the Vatican Library, who talked to us about the preservation/restoration of paper. She specializes in book bindings. To work in the Vatican Library is probably one of the best jobs in the business....I can't imagine what kinds of things she gets to deal with. AMAZING. It was very interesting, to say the least.
In workshop, I finished my fresco...and began constructing a frame for my panel painting.
The bugs here suck. You never see them, you just all of a sudden have 80 bites all over you, it's so annoying. AND they itch like the dickens. So, needless to say, I'm pretty pumped to get out of here and away from bugs. YES!! Plus, we are staying in nice hotels, and I don't have to deal with any travel details..so it will be like a little vacay. yay!!
Um, hopefully I'll be able to check email and things while I'm gone, but if not, don't expect to hear from me til next Sunday.
Love to all!!
Siri
next sunday?! this little girl can't handle that! but i still love you!
