Maja and I have known each other for years, but we never got an opportunity to get more familiar. We met at the university, and after that a lot of times at various events, where we were starting to chat, but due to the circumstances we never get to develop our stories.

When I discovered that Maja rides a bike with a basket, loves cooking and enjoys good wine, I knew I had a good presumptions about her. Maja is an adventurer who browses Europe on a bicycle, but she has the best feeling in the nature among the vegetation and the birds (so I was told). From her bicycle route along the Danube from Serbia through Bulgaria, she brought us the wonderful photos and the story of the kingdom of pelicans and warm-hearted people. Since I normally bind Bulgaria with good memories, these photos and stories only confirmed my remembrance.

We were passing along the village courtyards and sun fell/shone into the rain pipes between the walls, and we felt on our feets the august heat beating from the stone.
