Oldest playable organ in the world,  We had a concert by a french lady who can play it.  Very difficult, small keys, can't use thumbs, octaves are not laid in DO-RE-MI order.

I wrote a 45 minute blog about our 2nd day and LOST IT.  Too bad not doing it again.  I am climbing up the St. Bernard Pass on Monday so I won't blog for awhile.  Wish me luck. snow, 40% incline, monks feeding us soup, and St. Bernard slobbering.  Glad I b rought my slippers, if you don';t bring any, you have to wear the ones they have that travellers have been wearing for 100 years.  Sick.
