And how on earth did you find a way to stay there? My goodness! What a fascinating tale!!<br /><br />It is an unoccupied village that was the dream of the founder? Yikes! No one lives there?<br /><br />What a story!!!Penelope Bianchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07863486521957665886noreply@blogger.com
