this morning we spent by last necessary adaptations of both our cars, so that we feel fine inside, and on the road interconnected. We run our cars on vegetable oil, smothly, and wehad to tune our group for the journey so that we eliminate wasting time at planned stops. Also design of our second car needed some touches, and it became an event for introducing new ember of the group- Agnes, coming from Rumunia, who will be our guide through Romania, epecially Transylvania.

We started the journey together a bit late, - afternoon, but luckily left Budapest with its rush hours behind massive Danube riverflow. Passing Miskolc city we reached Szarospatak, pleaasant old city, where J.A Comenius, Czech so called „teacher of the nations“ spent 5 years of his life.

We supposed to find interconnection between his didactic method Orbis Pictus – vizualiation of the world, , and his orbis sensualis- experiencing the world, translated as „learn through game“, and our project, searching meanings hidden in the form of letters.

We go to Sarospatak without any previous contact, at the place, because we didn not find anybody avalable in local mueum. But we want to go, and stop, or realise our presentation. We parked just near the church,and met a man, infront of the garden, who has informed us sufficieently enough about local traditions and relations. By coincidence we appeared at the yard of evangelic youth house from where the rock music was tempting us to enter.

Our expectation to meet youngsters, disappeared immediately after entering the rehersal room with group called President, with old chaps, at the age of Rolling Sotnes played violently aloud , tossing one hit from pop music after another.Later on, we spoke about our project, and two members – singer Gabriel, and drummer Janczi stayed till late.The singer appeared to be former mayor of the Szarospatak (for 16 years) and with passing time we realised that he might be helpful in many things to us .They both decided for the letter in the shape of mushroom, which represents, just by chance letter S.
