From Liguria to Lisbon 🚢⚓
Italy tour reflections, my new book's first review, and a cemetery meet-up in Lisbon!
Italy Tour Reflections
It always takes a while to digest everything we see, do, and learn during these 10-day Italian cemetery workshops. (And I’ll certainly be sharing more in the weeks to come.)
The photo above shows our intrepid cemetery tour crew standing in front of Monteverde’s famous Resurrection Angel in Genoa’s magnificent Staglieno Cemetery, a place that has inspired visitors for generations, including Ernest Hemingway and Mark Twain. Perhaps it’s fitting that Larry and I returned to Genoa for a few extra days after the tour ended.
Tomorrow we board a cruise ship, and one of our stops will be Lisbon, where we’ll once again meet up with our talented taphophile friend Gisela Monteiro. Cemetery friendships really do take you around the world!
While the Monumental Cemeteries of Italy tour may have ended, my Travel & Tombstones adventures most certainly have not!
And here’s a little bit of exciting news:
My New Book’s First Review!
What a wonderful surprise! My newest book, Buried America: Dallas–Fort Worth, just got it’s first review on Amazon. Longtime newsletter reader and Patreon supporter Lori Reynolds wrote:
“This book made me want to drive to each and every one of these cemeteries and find these plots!!!!! Tui is fascinating and interesting and you will love her as we do here in East Texas!”
I’m thrilled since that’s exactly what I hoped this book would do: inspire people to get out and explore the fascinating burial grounds of North Texas for themselves.
Thank you, Lori! 💜
