Finally some photos!!!

Dino, king of meats. During our goat sausage and salami making day.

This is a quick photo to prove that I am still making work. I think this woodcarving will be a part of the WWOOFer Wagon (see below) when it is finished.

Here's a photo from Carnevale in Foiano. This was one of four huge floats complete with chicken entourage.

Jamie. And a cemetary. This somehow completely explains our Calabrian experience. Also the next one. Below are Jamie and Armwrecker jammin' with Avramo, our favorite gypsy godfather.

We spent our nights at the Elfi village reading by candlelight when we couldn't handle the insane children any more. We still had an insane Jamie however. (bottom left)

Here's some American gremlin working on the WWOOFer Wagon at Louise's. Roof is finished and soon I will return to put up the walls, windows, door and porch. Then I will live in it.

One day Louise and I went looking for a bike. She spotted this one in the iron scrapyard and I cleaned it up. It works great except that it is only a single speed and the brakes are of questionable quality.

Here's Armwrecker playing with the polar bear dogs at our newfound farm/home in Piemonte. Here they breed old speciess of sheep and horses and in the summer hold workshops for children. They have asked us to paint a mural on the wall in this photo. More on that to come.

Here is my friend Roberto performing in a nearby theater. Yes, that is whipped cream.

The sculpture is finished! It also has another face on the back. The head and hands were carved from seasoned olive wood and the rest is patched together from rotted olive trees and salvaged metal. His name is Culsans (an Etruscan guardian deity) and he is watching the sunset over Lousie's house.

Chris I miss you! Italy sounds amazing and bizarre as usual, especially the image of the 3 of you rolling around on patchy bikes with boots, plaid and ukeleles in the middle of it. Are you ever coming back to America?
