My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

A special encounter near the monastery in Voroneṭ, the most interesting and touching of all my travel. A 90-year-old man who still works as a farmer. He admitted that it has been a miracle for him to come back home alive after taking part in the Second World War. All wrinkles emphasizing his hard life disappeared in the vivid light of his eyes. He kept smoking and smiling willing to speak about his family and to ask information about where I come from. At the end of our conversation he wisely expressed his gratitude to life and confessed that he is a happy man.
