Thanks for the Liebster Award!
First of all, thank you so much from Drew and Julie from Drive on the Left for nominating us for the Liebster Award! It came as a total shock to us, as we really had no idea other bloggers were reading, let alone liking what we are doing here! So it was pretty exciting to find out we were nominated!

Comically nicknamed “Ecce Mono” (Behold the Monkey)
Ever since I came across the story of how 83-year old Cecilia Giménez botched the fresco of Ecce Homo when taking it upon herself to “restore” it in 2012, I became fascinated and obsessed, vowing to see it in person.
