I'm back with more blah blah....
Last sunday was perhaps the most memorable and idyllic days of my life. Hardo had invited us to his place...he picked us after lunch and we drove down to his village : Burgstall. On the way we passed a local brewery that I made him promise we'd visit later. They make beer from this local water that passes through this sponge-like stone and is very clean and cold (approx 5 deg centigrade)..then wes topped at his mother's dispernsary behing which is a small animal farm, where we played with a deer. After that we headed to his home..e..he stays with his parents surprisngly! His house is very charming...near the woods, it was built in 1969 and modernised later. They have a huge backyard with a pool filled with fishes and lots of lowers all around. After meeting his parents, who unfortunately speak only German and his girlfriend Nadine, we set off for a long walk in the woods. We picked up mushrooms, unluckily the berries weren't ripe yet. The walk was something completely awesome..the sensation of walking in the woods surrounded by tall cedar and oak trees, the quite all around, punctuated only by the sound of our footsteps , our breating and our own voices with the occassional call of a bird. The feeling of ebing wrapped in the greenery all around...the peace from within..it was serenely beautiful!!! In the end we visited the local moors in which 2 tanks sank during the World War II and several people have disappeared. That was very exciting...Hardo taught us how to jump on cumps of grass so we don't sink in...kinda scary but fun as well.
Back at his place we had dinner and left after that....a most enjoyable and almost perfect day..had I known German it would have been perfect...regrets regrets!!!
We've been having major discussion every evening that ranges topics from love life (haha), school days, religious beliefs, cultural attitudes and values, feminism et al!! MAkes for active exercise of the grey cells and fills the long dark and very quiet evenings....
On a funny note before I stop for the day..I've been getting funny results with my lanudry. Each time I've done my lanudry I end up putting some coloured garment in it..so I now have undergamrnets n sahdes of blue and pink..highly funny to see them..even wierder wearing them!! Hahaha!! Ah well I'll learn as I experience newer wierder stuff...:)
Unitl next time...I hope to see more comments on this blog...Ciao!!
