I know of 2 of them across the street from each other just a few steps from the front of the Pantheon. Everything today revolves around the keyboard; there's something about a pen and ink that makes you slow down. Also, because there's no "backspace" with ink, you have to think before you write. Also, I love how the shops have wax seals and little alcohol burners to melt the wax. It's a step back in time.Father Jay Toborowskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959196612796771847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-8321660274120186802009-03-09T19:04:00.000-07:002009-03-09T19:04:00.000-07:00Anyone looking for fine fountain pens and beautif...Anyone looking for fine fountain pens and beautiful writing paper in the USA will find a great selection of such items being sold by the Traditional Benedictine monks at Our Lady of Guadalupe monastery in Silver City, NM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
