Yep, one of those useless pieces of trivia:
after the start of the third year, the local ruler decided that he had had enough of the horde of cardinals living in his lands, doing nothing, and solving nothing relative to their charge to elect the new Pope. He had the roof of the building they were in taken off, and the doors sealed so they were forced to live in their own filth until such time as they made a decision.
The result: they selected one of the Gregorys.
It also set the precedent of isolating the cardinals in cramped, spartan quarters without running water to promote speedy elections.

ok - final count for MOTM is 7 if I'm not mistaken...
DKD, BG, BG2, LL, RW, Q, LPH
in agreeance with having the Hemingway Suite as well, that brings our total to $1800 for the 5 days in the house... tax brings us up to $2007
or...
$286.72 a pop.
we need to put at least half down for the reservation
so...
$143.36 each.
This can be paypalled to me by using the email address of
misscusp2004 (at) yahoo (dot) com
or if you want, you can mail a check to me (PM for my address) and I'll get the rumball rolling.
Thanks!
