Getting To The Glad

Despite several days of not working on this, visible and on track progress has been made.

Food For Tasting

We had all these lovely dishes of food to help us taste the wonderful brandy at Barza Alba.  Everything was home made, fresh, and delicious!

From My Colleagues

The consular section gave me this lovely piece at my farewell party.  I think it's beautiful!

One More Word

I managed to get the little flower patch and only one more word done this week.  Now that Tuscany Town Mandala is done, I can concentrate on working on other things.

Barza Alba Bottle Collection

Just off the tasting room Barza Alba has built a storage area for all its different kinds of brandy.  Here, they store the inaugural year of every type.  It's pretty impressive.

Lavender Coasters

Little coasters with wood burned lavender on them to remember the lavender fields here in Moldova.

The Tasting Room

The tasting room at Barza Alba is very elegant - something you don't expect in a state run company.  They treated us very, very well, too!  The photo below is of the brandies we tried.
