And then.....

So,after lunch Ray and I went on a bus(It's easy to get around here!) and walked through the Jewish ghetto, which was beautiful and tiny,winding alleys. Alas the synagog was closed for an independence day or something, but we saw more ruins, and then went to a couple of churches. One was the one I mentioned where you put your hand in the lion's mouth, and we're still two-handed so that was good. We saw a relic in that church of St. Valentin so I lit a candle and prayed for you Hickey kids and all your love lives. Then there was a beautiful icon mosaic of Mary and child and I lit a candle for you,Erin, and your baby in your tummy. Anybody else need anything? I lit candles for Erin and Heather at another Madonna and child icon,too, but can't remember which church it was. Laurie and Mike and I went to their favorite restaurant here and had a wonderful meal. I had eaten already with Ray, so just had an italian coffee and a tirimisiu. Wow! It was sooo good! I forgot to say we went to the big castle too. Creepy place, with areas,tunnels that date back to Hadrian. Matt you would have loved it, it was so creepy. There was even a dungeon in the basement. Well, off to bed.More tomorrow. Maybe I'll light a candle for good weather,Heather,in Calgary.
