Sardinia in October..



 My long time friend Helmut keeps sending me great pictures from his island, Sardinia, where he has been living for many years. I have never been to Sardinia, so it is with great enjoyment I find his beautiful photos from his island in the Mediterrainean. We keep a island photo swapping relationship!
(Not island hopping, so far..)

 
Helmut and I met in 1960 in Landshut, Bavaria, Germany, where I was studying German for the summer. I got to know his warm, big family and subsequently returned for X-mas to celebrate a real Bavarian X-mas with his family travelling through the snowy, pineclad Black Forest.
 
 Helmut and friends from Landshut later came to visit me at Sandhamn the following summer..and then we lost track for so many years..
 
Until we found each other on the web again!
These are some of the photos he sent recently from his Sardinia.


And this is a photo he took of me in Germany in those days and recently mailed to Sweden..


And this is Helmut in the Landshut days when we used to listen to his great records in his cosy crash pad..It is truly great to be in touch again thanks to the i-net! And please Helmut, keep you great pics from Sardinia coming! One day I might even do some island hopping and go to see you and your great island in the great, green Med!
