Last summer I went to my uncle who lived in a small village in
Bol the mountains. The place was beautiful. While we were droving to his house | saw the green valley violet with heather and high hills covered
with green grass. When we arrived to my uncle's house it started
to rain. The weather changed from sunny and warm to cold and
rainy. But it wasn`t too long - it was a short summer shower.
My uncle offered us some tea and then showed us his garden. There
were a lot of fruit trees and flowers there. I was very happy to
spend two weeks in that lovely place. I took a lot of photos of
it and shared them with my friends on Facebook. They liked them
and left a lot of comments.
Once we went to the mountain lake which was not far from my
uncle's house. My father swam there but I didn`t get into
the water - it was too cold. My father said it was the cleanest
lake. I think it was because it was the coldest and not many
people wanted to swim there.
My two weeks in the mountains flew very fast. Soon it was time
to pack our suitcases and say good bye to our hospitable uncle.
We promised to come again next year. Now I`m looking at the photos
| took last summer and I think I are very lucky to have such a
kind uncle who lived in the most beautiful place in the world.
