I'm worried that it'll be sad, too. You can tell me how much I should brace myself, when I get to go.

I'd love to see some photos of the statues that didn't get completely carved out of the quarry--the ones that are still "attached" to the rocks.

Oh, I'll definitely take pictures at the quarry. I really want to see the biggest one, that's still attached.
