10 DAYS AND COUNTING

Finishing up preparations for my trip...I have been trying to get as much information as possible about the recent mudslides mostly in Messina (NorthEastern corner) and chekcing the weather daily...funny a recent friend said "By the time you get there it will be sunny in Sicily" I told her I didn't care if it rained..well I don't bud the mudslides and deaths and missing persons is really sad...
In anycase, I will be in Crossville, TN for a tour of the Crossville plant for 3 days, then back to work for 2 days then...leaving on a jet plane...I really must get busy!!

more later...

INVITES GOING OUT and here is yours!!

MOSAICS IN SICILY

SEPT 17th-26th 2009

YOU ARE INVITED!!

Hello friends and fellow mosaicisti! I invite you to join a small group visiting Sicily this fall! I am leading a tour that is focused mostly on mosaics; Because of your interest in mosaics, art/architecture I thought this trip would be of special interest to you. (The secondary focus is eating great food, drinking excellent wines and experiencing the real Sicilian culture!)

We will see some of the world’s most important and magnificent Roman and Byzantine era mosaics in their original settings as they were designed to be seen. Touring at a comfortable pace with plenty of time to relax, we will eat and drink well, but most of all have fun while experiencing the incredible ancient treasures and true culture of Sicily. We wrap up our visit with a brief mosaic course with maestro Ezio Cerruto in the charming town of Modica.

I offer this tour to share with you the history and beauty of mosaics on the enchanting island of Sicily! Scroll down this page for the reservation form and all the details will be sent to you directly....in the mean time, SAVE THE DATE for unforgettable vacation and learning experience! Sincerely hoping you will join me! Anne
