Florence and I decided to go to an exhibition of presepi at a nearby town, Massa Martana. It was an absolutely charming mix of divinely inspired and silly...sometimes even in the same creation! As we wandered around eating popcorn and roasted chestnuts respectively, we went into little shopfronts that held presepi from different regions of Italy. Such fun! I offer you but a small sampling for your viewing pleasure.
Love,
Alexandra

Made of ice, these were slightly smaller than life-size

| I thought the donkeys were nifty |

| No town would be complete without laundry hanging to dry. |
