Luka,

YOU WERE HERE?!!? LOL! The same passion as your mother`s :) ! Why were you sent there? To enjoy never seen places, or to search for the Internet connection?

Just kidding, of course!

I tried to catch up with Branka, but cann`t find her. I think she has spoiled us too much!

Michael, I enjoy your advice to Luka :) . Thanks for being so thoughtful!

Joe, Myrna, Dimi ... wish you a good night !!! Or, better, it`s time for you to wish me a good night :) .

Nephew, take care!

Love,

Lilly

Joe,

It`s not easy to pack your luggage and to leave  Portugal. I have no words to tell how amazed I am. Spirit you can feel there speaks off Royalty ... but I cann`t say that people live exactly abundantly. There are hugged Mediteran and influence from the Atlantic ocean ... In Lisbon ... I didn`t see asphalt concrete street ... The streets are paved with stone tiles, and lot of them have ornaments !!! You cann`t feel moisture in the air .... Amazing!!!

But unfortunately, I stayed there too short to become aware how do they BEAT AROUND THE BUSH :) !

I like your story about father`s beating around the bush. I saw Chaylene`s pic at your profile ... and just can imagine how sweet she must be, looking at you on her special way. LOL!

As all kids, I also asked Branka about that. LOL,LOL,LOL!!! You know how direct she is. But here, she found a way to tell me ... yes, beating around the bush, but at the funniest way. Sometimes I really admire her.

But, I have one story how do I beat around the bush on my trips!

The most of my (male,female) class mates ... use some stimulative things ... Not only alcohol ... but some pills and  . To not allow them to taunt at me ... I have rolled a mint tea and smoked it. Disgusting! Dreadfully! 

Uh ....

Thank you Joe. Hope you will not become fastidious on mint tea.

Have a great day!

Luka

Dear Myrna,

Thanks for thinking of me and for all your kindness.

I`ve heard one vic, with which I would like to illustrate my family story.

In Hungary, during Russian`s governance there, was a big impoverishment. So often, inspectors have visited Hungarian elementary schools to watch how the kids will be educated. All the pupils have had a very strict cliché for responding on inspector`s questions. What ever they should be asked for, their answer must begin as:

"Thanks to a Tovarish Stalin and to a Great Soviet Russia .... my name is :) " ...

One pupil was asked just what`s the time?

And he responded: "Thanks to a Great Soviet Russia and Tovarish Stalin, I don`t have a watch :) "

So, I`ll say the same. Thanks to a Great Soviet Russia and Tovarish Stalin, Branka was a single mother :) ... and couldn`t beat around the bush as your parents did.

Blessings to you, dear friend!

Luka

Thank you Mike! I read your advices while I was there, but wasn`t lucky to have an Internet access as long as I wished and needed, and couldn`t respond you.

Unfortunately, I wasn`t blessed to meet Venerina Conti, but will look to find her here and to invite her to be my friend.

I saw the bulls - they are amazing! But, beside the bulls, roosters are also very exploited as motive on their souvenirs and pictures and I like them very much.

Dear friend, thanks for thinking of me and for posting here.

Have a great day!

Luka
