Doctor’s Orders

Yes, yes, we know … we owe you a report from the unique festival in Urbino, and from a rather special kite workshop Gregor did, but this kite flying session was really nice, so … 🙂 After a hectic week, and the very hot summer, and all the festivals from Tunisia to Dalmatia to Italy, … Read more

While We Wait for the Romans
