Souvenirs and mementos

I like souvenirs. Not the "I went to Madrid and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" souvenirs you see in shops, but things that are unique about a place. Much to my overfull suitcase's (and underfull wallet's) chagrin, I've been picking up stuff as I go.

So, my swag so far:

• Copper ginginha drinking cup from Lisbon
• Lapis lazuli prayer bracelet with the cross and scallop shell of St. James from Santiago
• Damascene carving of Toledo from Toledo
• Hyper-parabolic modernisme coffee mugs from Barcelona
• Watercolor of Avignon and the St. Benezet bridge from Avignon
• A wind-up music box that plays the Avignon nursery rhyme from Avignon
• Bottle from the Chateauneuf-du-Papes (the vineyards that served the French Popes) from Avignon
• Stalk of wheat from the wheat fields Van Gogh painted in St. Remy-de-Provence
