The Ancient City

We had the opportunity to go to a nearby city the weekend with some friends. The old part of the city we visited was from the 1200's.


Here is a shop where they make material and blankets. All of it is by hand and there is no electrical machines involved.


This is a traditional tannery where they make leather stuff. These dyes are made from pigeon poo, cow urine, brains, limestone, mint, and saffron.



We also visited some ancient Roman ruins located in a nearby city.


This last picture was taken from our roof at sunset. That is the ocean at the bottom of the clouds.

Well, we just got back from vacation (sorry, no pics yet - but keep checking cuz there will be), and the first thing I had to do was check out your blog (and other friends too - like all the new babies!). LOVED all the pics. So amazing. Wish I could sit down with you and see all 700. :) Glad you had such a good time!
