Ten Years

That day we were not in Livorno, but taking a vacation in London. So when it happened we didn't know at first, until we saw people gathering in front of some TV sets in a department store, watching something almost unbelievable.The day after we went to the American Embassy, where people were leaving flowers at a tree draped with an American flag. Soon there were too many and they had to move them to another place, where the 9/11 memorial is now.

Castles

We have already seen one of these fancy plaques in “Around the School”. They are usually found on any building owned by the municipality. In this collage you can easily see that they are slightly different and probably hand made. I have tried in vain to find when and how these tiles were made.
