Maybe this is the entrance into their old home.
This is Fervenza!
This is the town of Fervenza.
This is the town of Cesures where some of Angeles' ancestors are from. The other town is a town called Fervenza which is 1.5 kilometers further up the hill. Although there are some new homes the population has not really changed over the last 300 years. Probably they are even smaller. We took as many pictures as we could of the old houses because nobody knows where her ancestors lived exactly in the towns.
This is Fervenza.
Maybe they lived in this one. We went to the cementaries, but most the grave sites were unmarked and just weed covered mounds.

The is the old principle street where my father-in-law grew up.
This is the house directly across the street from the house where he grew up. They sold the house years go and it was torn down andd the built a new building there.
This is in the house where the 96 year old lady lives. She knew Angeles' great-grndmother. This stove is a coal burning and they still use it to cook with and heat the home.
This home would look just like the home where my father-in-law grew up in.


We hung out at the cousin's home. That would be the cousins of my father-in-law.
Over 2000 years ago the Romans discovered gold in these mountains, so they built a canal 35 miles long and dug caves into the mountains and ran the water into the caves washing the mountains away. These are called the Medulas.
So much for beds in the small towns for people my size.
