 | Roasted goat in the compound by sachara Just before dark we arrived in the compound of our local host family. The goats were allready slaughtered and cut into pieces. The roasting of the goats was the task of the men and boys. They run through the pieces with sharpened wooden sticks and put these sticks with the meat around the fire. It took some time before all the meat was done. While we all together were sitting on the ground on skins, the meat was cut in very small pieces and... [read more] |

We all know about the beautiful pictures, the fantastic deals, the stupendous travel tips, and the lifetime relationships; however, sometimes the little stories, which may not affect thousands, but nonetheless, show what special events and meaning that our site imparts everyday on a smaller, more personal level. Check out what Pawtuxet shares:
“As many members know, I've been enchanted with Poland as I've been traveling back to find my grandfather's village hidden deep in the southern countryside. He came from a very small town by the name of Kolbuszowa. I have a page for it as well as the smaller community of Cmolas, where the family lived. For several years members have been visiting my pages but seldom does anyone know about this town... even native Poles. Recently I had an email from a woman who said her grandfather was also from this little town and she was so happy to find information and photos of this remote village. We've been in touch and met in person. Turns out we live about 3 or 4 miles from one another in Rhode Island! When we checked the old plat maps of the village in Poland, we find that our grandfathers lived only about 3 farms from one another (c.1900) in that rural little place so far away. I'm astounded...but then, this is Virtual Tourist, isn't it?”
Very cool, Janet - thanks for sharing!
