Marinka, who makes us sandwiches for lunch most days, has become a dear friend of ours. Actually, she fell in love with our kids, but we think she likes Chantelle and I too. She doesn't speak much English (although "Super!" is one of her favorite expressions), but she still asked for our email address last summer and sent us broken messages every so often, wondering if we would be back this year.
Last week, she told us she had gifts for Rosetta, Celia, and Sy, and today she delivered them: personalized wooden dolls, note pads, Ljubljana pencils, and Smurf chocolate bars. How super is that?
PS - Apparently Celia and Sy are celebrities here...Marinka said she saw them on the news crossing one of the bridges.
