Petrinha's Barca

[Petrinha]

Great pictures. Loving the scene and architecture.

Incredible wall with the Sinatra, Picasso pics.

Really cool because you can just picture the Bohemians there. Its that type of scene.

Els Quatre Gats is famous. Read a little about it. Never saw that place but I wouldn't doubt my father and mother did when they were there.

The coffee looks tasty to me. But I'm judging the book by its cover here

Awesome stuff, Petra. :thumbsup2:

Tnx Arma, i just loved it there, the atmosphere of some past times making u travel back for a bit via the ambient, spirit and all was really nice ... coffe was okay, but since i am a coffe person i can distinguish good from average

Wow damn nice pics Petra.

And I know you are Croatian but how many languages do you speak? I see you writing in Portuguese and Spanish and Italian and English.... wtf girl?!

Tnx Well yes, langauges r one of my passions besides sports, travel & arts, been learning them all my life since little age (tnx to my parents) ... i speak english, italian and portugues, spanish can understand mostly but speak less. Speak french too and some hebrew and arabic hehe, stil not satisfied with the levels, am working on it

Some girls invest in their looks and i in knowledge, don't need much make up as have good genes lol .... kidding

Your job is langauages aint it Petra? Very clever girl. I have not even managed a basic grasp of my own language yet, neber mind anyone else's!

Well not exactly, it's literature and writing first, although when i write my articles for encyclopedias language knowing comes very usefull when u cannot find the sources in croatian but other languags esp italian or french ... do some translationes as well from time to time.
Although i did study portugues as study at uni, but never lernt languages coz of utility (it just comes as a nice side effect ) but coz of love for them

Did Petrinha retire?

Did Petrinha retire?

She sadly passed away, 3 years ago.

Unfortunate that all the old pictures uploaded in various threads have vanished now.

Is there a way to find them?

Long shot but @zanela was her friend so maybe she saved them at the time and still has them? Of course she might not feel comfortable re-uploading them, but if she has them and trusts people here.

Looks like she was a beautiful girl, inside and out. I visited her page and it's really sad reading her later posts knowing she would be gone in weeks.

Uh. Rarely one encounters someone so special. Miss talking to her and those forum midnight chats with the old guard.

I had them saved in my old HP compaq but ran in to software issues. Unfortunately, I'd no back-up.

Yeh. She was a very well-read, kind and vibrant soul. She loved history, photography and languages. I still have the Croatian T-shirt and Laudrup figurine that she sent me on my birthday. We didn't know each other for long but the bond we shared felt like that of sisters - one that is profound and transcending the material. It's surreal that soon after her demise, I delved into languages. I'm sure if she was still alive, she'd be proud of my linguistic exploits but no doubt she'd always be the more accomplished one.

Thanks for the heartfelt response. I am sorry she isn't around still. Amazing to think she'd be nearly 50 now. Probably married with kids (if she was single and no kids when she died) It sounds like you shared a deep connection indeed and she impacted your life greatly.
