MISCELLANEOUS*

*"Osmizze" open during the Easter festivities: *The osmizza is a private 
farm house, typical of the Carso area, where farmers open their doors 
and serve their home made food and wines for a few weeks a year. The 
term "osmizza" derives form the slovene language "osem" which means 
"eight" and dates back to the times when the region was under Austrian 
rule: farmers had to ask for a special licence to sell there products 
for "8 days". If you are in the Carso you may notice hand-made wooden 
signs with a branch of leaves (called "frasche") indicating the 
direction of the osmizza's location. You may have wine, different kinds 
of hams, boiled eggs and cheeses. Check those open during this period: 
* http://www.osmizze.net*
