Pietrasanta, Italy Sunday 31 May 1998 I awoke this morning in a sun-filled room at the Hotel Palagi. The white interior with its vivid splashes of colorful art and woven rugs cheered me immensely. I got out of bed and threw open the windows and shutters to admire the view. In the distance, down the hillside, I could see the Tyrrhenian Sea, the portion of the Mediterranean that lies between the western coast of Italy and the islands of Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily as if surrounded in an earthy embrace.
Wow! Wow! This is great! And we overlap, once more. As a young girl, I spent a summer in Marina di Pietrasanta with my family. It was a magical time and I made lots of summer friends. I remember going one day to Carrara and seeing a huge marble sculpture by Jacques Lipschitz in the works. I've always wanted to return--and nearly made it there a few years ago. Some day . . .
Another beautiful portrait, in words that are sculpted from your experiences. We are fortunate to see both the work of the artist and the artist at work. Thanks, again, Kirstin, for pursuing your passions and inviting us along on this journey .
Kristin, out of all (and I do mean all) the so many great Story Frames I've read so far, I believe this one is my personal favorite. Simply enchanting writing and mesmerizing storytelling. My hat is off to you - and I'm bowing;) Thanks so much, enjoyed this immensely. - Jim

No way!! This is incredible, I love that we have this connection in common!
Hey, here's an idea, why don't we meet up and spend a few days together there next year? I'd love to see you again!
