Yeah I like cappuccino. Hard to get a nice one though. |

Just don't think of cappuccino as a "real" coffee - it's all the frothy stuff and chocolate sprinkles etc. If I do have coffee it's an espresso the smaller and stronger the better! I like the caffeine high but couldn't cope with it more than once in a blue moon - don't need it just now anyway as the drugs I'm on send me up to the ceiling! |

Today I'm posting towers from Ravenna in Italy. This city was the second most important city in the Byzantine world in the 5th and 6th centuries and still has many churches from that period, with stunning mosaics. many of the churches acquired bell towers (campaniles) in the 9th to 11th centuries
The ancient churches of Ravenna 1 -3 Basilica of San Giovanni Evangelista 4 & 5 San Apollinare Nuovo. This has some of the best mosaics 6 Base of the tower in 4 7 & 8 Santa Maria Maggiore 9 San Giovanni Battista, with a rather incongruous later Baroque facade |

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, (1892-1973),[/QUOTE I always thought there was a connection between Tolkien's son and Stonyhurst. I thought he was student there, but it would seem he taught at the college. Stonyhurst also claim that Tolkien himself wrote part of Lord of the rings at the college. |
