STONY MEMORIES.

I'm going to convey an idea if you like and the wish to implement. It occurred to me to include in my modest collection of minerals and rocks a pair of stones collected in the Calanques, which is a kind of tiny fjord is in Marseille. One is a piece of white limestone and the other a piece of red sandstone, I put one over the other forming a small sculpture. Actually I

child to get me the custom stones in his pockets. It sounds crazy or tontuna, but remember how reverently picked up a piece of marble. And for me the marble was a sacred material which had built temples and statues, which is what we were told the teachers at school.

child also was fascinated when I went to visit the Monastery of La Rabida and came in an impressive room, whose walls hung a map of Juan de la Cosa, I guess it was a copy, and flags of all or nearly all, countries of America. And at the foot of each flag was an urn containing earth from the country concerned. These signs earth seemed more real than the flags. So when you take a stone trocillo a remote location is like taking home a part of that place. And these stones have an enormous evocative power. The British Museum is what they did, but I find it excessive. And I feel bad for the country visited, but a pebble as lame I can not bother anyone.

Not that I obsess catching stones, because of China, and visited many other places I have none. In India only a couple of rocks of Jaisalmer. In the Baltic countries, only one of Lili Hamer. In only one of Egypt near the Pyramid of Cheops, one of the Step Pyramid and one of the quarry where the obelisk in the medium to make me look like a scam, because my teacher said that Lafuente Ferrari did otherwise and frankly I trust more than Don Enrique of this guide.

The most complete collection I have is the Greek. I still need to visit Greece, Turkey is now all come! But I have the Magna Grecia: Segesta
A stone and a piece I think it's a bone trocillo of a great Greek! We do not know whether human, canine, equine, feline or other status. Another stone of Agrigento, Selinunte another, another Syracuse, one of Taormina. Etna trocillo I have a slag and a very cool volcanic bomb.

In the "small" Greece I have a piece of marble from the Acropolis of Athens, a small cockle shell ancient Hadrian's Library, a cemetery ossicles Karam, who by the look and size seems to be chicken, but old. Stones Olympia, Delphi and Mycenae and the latter place a ceramic trocillo. And finally trocillo will not be a stone but Meteora conglomerate ground.

But I have agents, because my grandchildren have brought me Graciosa Island, where they were this summer, a volcanic stone Bermeja Mountain and one from the Yellow Mountain.

way, as you read this I can is watching, "in situ" or from those mountains far, because on Friday, 9 am going to Lanzarote with my girl I'll tell you what you caught, because it is a place where the stones out of the bowels of the earth!
