I know that there is some Italian blood mixed in with the East Prussian from the Baltic Sea. <br />Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy new Year and lots of success with your upcoming travels to Italy. ox, GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-6809069198222569072014-01-05T09:27:47.754-07:002014-01-05T09:27:47.754-07:00Dear Mary, I will disclose and share everything I ...Dear Mary, I will disclose and share everything I know. ox, GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-1487762784172706872014-01-04T09:45:33.263-07:002014-01-04T09:45:33.263-07:00I was thinking about you and wondered if you were ...I was thinking about you and wondered if you were back!

Did you take the funicular to the top or did you drive? Aren't the hiking trails spectacular? I can't think of a better way to spend a holiday. <br />You will be amazed at the "Frozen Fritz" exhibit. To think that he is older than the Pyramids. Even his clothing and travel articles were preserved in the ice glaziers.

Having a car is the best way to experience the area. We have been there so many times.and we know some of the best places to visit, the best places to stay and the best places to eat. If you can plan 5 days then I can highly recommend the Geyerhof in Soprabolzano.

You have to pop them into your mouth whole. Dried Kumquats are very different and as you can see have been tossed in sugar. The inside becomes liquid and is a wonderful treat. <br />Isn't it interesting how our palates change. When you see dried Kumquats give them a try.
