This small village seemed nearly deserted when dave Antonio and I arrive there in 1978. After walking around , we found three sisters who had some embroidery pieces , which we bought. After some discussion they showed us the bueatifully embroidered blouse they had made for thier mother. We had a long and fun exchange and finally they traded the blouse for a mattress we had in the back of the camper. It was a great deal for both of us. However I have since not been able to fid this town again. Bob Freund July 17 , 2006
