Allie,
Im home from Charleston now, showed everyone your pics from terra cirque. They should be warned that they will be experiencing an influx of very artistic looking americans in the near future. Everyone wanted to go! Decorative ARtist's are all pretty wierd. Would be so fun.
Luv, Aunt Rox

PS Your mom and I are going to wait tables for a month at that place to pay for our trip and to fit in to the culture and to meet some extremely nice italian guys!!!
