Hi John, we left a SamStone at the Inca terraces in Chinchero today.
An amazing place, and so far our favorite in the Sacred Valley near
Cusco, Peru.
All the best for your upcoming birthday!

My good friend Fulvio placed a SamStone in a part of Rome that ius speciual to him. He wrote:
My dear John,
in a recent trip to Rome to visit my old mother I took a Samstone with me because I wanted to put it in a place which is dear to me.
I attach here more details about the place.
It is a tiny garden with beautiful trees, in the middle of a busy place, a memento of important history, and a very quiet place only open a couple of days a year when its historical past is remembered and celebrated.
I wanted you to know.
My best regards,
Fulvio

Name = Laura Fine-Morrison Email = laurafm@comcast.net Message = **third send attempt** Dear John – You walked up to me and handed me a Samstone at the temple at Burning Man this past summer. In December, I took it with me to Tanzania. In the small town of Bukoba, about 30km from the Ugandan border, I carried the stone down to the beach and threw it into Lake Victoria. I was surprised to find that I got somewhat choked up about letting it go. It was an emotional experience, even though I never met Sam and exchanged no more than a few words with you on the 2nd floor of the temple at BM. I have a photo of me with the stone just before throwing it in, and.a short MPG clip of it going into the water. Both were too large to attach here, but I can send them to you in email if you'd like. Best to you and this wonderful means you have found for keeping your son's memory alive. Laura Fine-Morrison Seattle, WA

A friend gave me a Sam Stone and told me the story behind it. I
placed the stone at Arethusa Falls, Crawford Notch State Park, New
Hampshire. It is on Rte. 302 about 7 miles west of Bartlett, N.H. and
7 miles south of Crawford Notch. It is the tallest waterfalls in the
state. I think Sam would have loved it there. The photo is a close-up
of the falls.

From there I took it to Dallas Tx and gave it to my mother who was traveling to Bhutan. A monk at the temple helped her place the stone in the Temple of Happiness. details below – PUNAKHA, BHUTAN THE PUNAKHA DZONG (PALACE OF GREAT HAPPINESS) BUILT AT THE JUNCTION OF THE PHOCHU AND MOCHU RIVERS IN 1637 BY SHABDRUNG NGAWANG NAMGYAL.
