Antwerp, Belgium
We’ve made it to my second stop of this trip – Milan. My coworker Mark’s wife joined us in Milan (Amanda will follow a couple days later) so you’ll see her in one of these shots. Our first stop in Milan – the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Built in 1865, it was the Galleria from…
I was listening to Valero‘s second quarter conference call today, and while I’m sure that the prospect of another big oil company reporting all time record earnings will upset the likes of the Expose Exxon crowd, the downside of supply and demand is that darn supply-side sometimes can bite you in the ass when it…
Sorry for the day or two off, here’s three photos to catch up with. Here we are in the very cool Mercado de San Miguel. Inside are a whole bunch of specialty shops, most single purpose – one for meats, one for cheese, one for nuts, and of course wine and beer bars. More photos…
Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
