The site is not a blog, but
rather a means for sharing family information such as family news,
births, deaths, activities, pictures,
achievements. The site relies on input from family members. It is
updated weekly usually on Saturday night.
On our last night in Sofia
at the bridge workshop we decided to forego the hotel restaurant.
The receptionist at the hotel highly recommended a "very
delicious" restaurant and Maurizio, Catherine,
Doreen and I decided to eat there.
At the restaurant it turned out that the menu was completely in
Bulgarian which uses Cyrillic characters and which is totally
incomprehensible to us. Furthermore, no one at the restaurant spoke
English. Google translate to the rescue: I started going through the
recipes and when I got to marinated spare ribs we all decided "that's
it" and ordered. Fortunately I had pointed to the right line and the
ribs duly arrived. They were good and we enjoyed the food and the
company of two bridge colleagues whom we have known for many years.
Maurizio, the World Bridge Federation Operations Director, and I met in
in 1997 when we were in the same group at one of
the first courses for tournament directors and we have been friends
ever since.
THIS
WEEK'S NEWS
Last week I posted a picture of Doreen enjoying soup in a bread bowl in Sofia. It
brought
back memories, not only to us, but also to grandchildren Maayan and
Lotem Segoli. 13 years ago were visited the Segolis in Davis California
where we celebrated Lotem's 6th birthday. We took them on a visit to
San Francisco where we enjoyed for the first time 'soup in a bread
bowl'.
Last night we visited the Segolis at a hotel where they were staying
for the weekend and reminisced with the
aid of pictures about that trip.
