My grandmother's birthday

Today is the birthday of my grandmother Elizabeta.She was my mother's mother and I loved her very very much.She was born on July 6th 1907 and died in 1976..

She spent her childhood in Budapest in Hungary where she finished her primary school.

Here is her chatolic prayer-book on Hungarian language..

After the primary school she moved to the croatian capitol city Zagreb where she finished a gymnasium and a trade university before she married my grandfather.

And here are few pieces of my grandmother's silver jewellery..

Motovun

Motovun is one of many small towns situated on the top of the hill what is typical for medieval towns in central Istria.

The city wall dates from the 12-13th century..

..and the city gate dates from 15th century.

I spent only one hour there on my way to Umag two weeks ago and here is a few photos I took..

Since 1999, Motovun has hosted the international Motovun Film Festival for independent and avant-garde films from the U.S. and Europe.

Umag

Last week I visited Umag,one of many beautiful old cities on the Adriatic coast.Here are few pictures I took walking through the town with my dear friend Sandra from Porec,a city near Umag..

Walking to the fishpond

Few photos from Saturday's little walk to the fishpond near Novi Marof where live my parents and my sister with her family.

Trogir

Trogir is a historic town and harbour on the Adriatic coast in Croatia and is the best preserved Romanesque-Gothic complex not only in the Adriatic,but in all of Central Europe.

My older daughter Tea visited Trogir during this vikend.There was organised a state competition in knowledge of German language for students of high schools where she took the second place.

Here are few pictures she took in this amazing old town.

Mother's Day

I don't know why but my mother hates to be photographed.Sometimes I try to pick one photo of her when she doesn't know that but it looks she has one sixth sense and always avoids photographing.

She really loves books and reads very much.Here is an old photo of her with a book in the age of fourteen (it must be in 1957).

..and the photo for the identity card from 1960 in her age of seventeen.

She married my father in 1962 and I was born in 1965.Here are my mother and me in December 1966.

And today I AM A REALLY PROUD MOTHER-my older daughter Tea took today morning a second place on the state competition in the knowledge of German language. :)
