    More SamStones at Machu Picchu
    
    
    
    

Hi John,
I just read your blog post about recent SamStone locations … very  
cool. I still think the whole concept of these stones all over the  
world in Sam's memory is a great idea! I wish I'd be remembered some  
day like that 🙂

We put one at the Sun Gate and one on top of Wayna Picchu.

All the best from all of us,

Uwe, Anna, Lara & Finn

Hi John, we placed two SamStones at Machu Picchu (couldn't resist,
it's just such a magical place). The first one is at the Sun Gate,
which is the very first time that you see the ruins from Inca trail.

We scrambled up Wayna Picchu (the cone shaped mountain behind Machu
Picchu) in the morning and placed our second SamStone at the top.

An amazing place, and so far our favorite in the Sacred Valley near
Cusco, Peru.

All the best for your upcoming birthday!

Rome – Italy

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
