A sweet bread that was braided included colored eggs baked in the bread. Always the mass and eating and looking good. Is this maybe what you were asking about? Where are you now?

I have a few photos from the family from the 30´s or 40´s that they sent us, but you only can see the countryside and not the town. But I´ve seen plenty of actual photos on the internet, and even virtually walked the town with goggle street! ;). If you want, I´d be glad to receive your pictures from Petina. <br /> In my last comment I told you about me looking for the birth certificate in Petina. Well... I found the town´s e-mail adress, so I sent an e-mail asking for the certificate ant two hours later I received a digitally scanned certificate and the promise of receiving the original by letter. Great!

I left my bag with them while I took off for weeks in Southern Italy. this year was 10E a week! that is almost a daily charge at the station.<br />contact them, they are wonderful.<br />often when i spend my last week in florence, i give the a box I want to ship home. each day i drop off my purchases so I dont have to drag them to the hotel. that is service! just remember they are not open weekends...Lee Laurinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05200596679688870668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644069876393769448.post-36363205103615184582012-01-25T23:51:38.490-05:002012-01-25T23:51:38.490-05:00Having a daughter has made me realize how important connections are. Yes, it would be nice to have a nonna wherever we go to guide and protect us. I do hope that those who do have the good fortune of having a loving nonna realize just how beautiful and wonderful they truly are.JSpauldinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802178013480837060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644069876393769448.post-58104735698076740092012-01-25T15:10:26.978-05:002012-01-25T15:10:26.978-05:00wonderful Lee.....
