A stranger with really great "buns"...

While waiting for all the Good Friday celebrations to happen, I began talking with a delightful woman, Bonnie, who explained to me what to expect with the Processione del Venerdì.  She was informative and very helpful.  After the first of 14 stations was concluded, she turned to us and said that she had just taken out a batch of buns you are traditionally suppose to eat on Venerdì Santo and would we like to go to her new home and have tea and Pan di Ramerino

Pan di Ramerino is a large roll delightfully flavored with rosemary and raisins and eating it in this generous woman's home (the former stable of the ancient house above it) was the highlight of our Friday.  Bonnie is a professional photographer, retired UC Davis professor, author of an amazing blog http://oldbroadabroad.com/blog/ and someone I hope we will know for a very long time.
