This is a drawing of the baserri Goikoetxebarri, which means the new house up above, where my dad was born. It sits on the edge of the village of Gerrikaitz, which today is incorporated with the town of Arbatzegi to form Munitibar, in the province of Bizkaia. It was the ancestral home of many of the Uberuagas that emigrated from the Basque Country to the United States, and maybe elsewhere.

The Baserri’s of our parents, what a perfect memory.
This is lovely!!! is it your daughter’s drawing? Nice!
No, I’m not sure where it came from. It was in my late great-uncle’s belongings and his wife gave it to me.
