There is no air-condition available, but we, due to modern isolation materials have found no need for it yet. The house is equipped with telephone, TV and internet. The furniture is modern and functional. The parking place infront of the house is big enough for four cars, two of them can be parked under the jutting roof. Basic toys for children, such as childrens' house, swings and sandbasin are available. The house is located in the town center, which means that there is no need to use a car to get to basic central functions - post office, pharmacy, health care center, festival hall, bus station, retail shops, etc as well as to cultural, sport and fun events. The house is located within the walking distance to the lake, ski and sledge slope, cross country tracs and walking paths.

About Us
We, the family Humerca-Solar, assume ourselves as an ordinary family. Frenk, the father, is a computer engineer, who works in its own bookkeeping office. He is 40 years old and his favourite hobby is sailing. He would spend as much time as he can afford, sailing. He spends a lot of his time with our children in which he is very good. My name is Lenca. I am in my late thirties and am a geographer and anglicist by profession. I work at the Ministry for the Environment and Spatial Planning on strategic spatial projects, such as highway construction. As a geographer I am very fond of travelling and meeting new places and people. We both are fluent in English and can speak and understand German and some Italian. Our children are two girls, Ana and Maja. Ana is seven and is visiting the primary school. She, as most of the girls of her ages, is dreaming of becoming a princess. Maja is four and is visiting the nursery school. She follows her bigger sister in al her thoughts and deeds. They both enjoy the sea and the lake and are learning other activities. They are now old enough that we have started to think about travelling abroad for vacations.
