Now they still grow the grapes but they make raisins.<<<<<<<<<<< But Tina that is nearly as good as wine? WHY? Well for a great number of years when I covered long term assignments, primarily Olympics. I packed a large bag of Thompson Black Raisins in my suitcase. So I could have a smaller bag in my shoulder bag or photo vest to eat as days became longer waiting on the athletes to compete. :-) After a number of years photogs learned I always had a bag, say at a swimming event and would ask me for some? I'd pass the bag of "black sweet raisins" and usually get it back with but a few in the bag. Lesson learned? I carried a bag for me & a bag for them. When theirs became empty? PITY!:-) One of life's learning moments as an international travelling photojournalist! :-) :-) :-) cheers, Dr. ted Grant OC Tina On Thu, Jun 23, 2016 at 12:42 AM, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > Nice landscapes and people.
