My grandmother lives in a very small city naming Gornozawodsk. I should say that I really enjoy visit her. E very time she is glad to see us: she bakes tasty cakes and listens to our news very attentively. So, she is always ready to give us a warm welcome. The only defect is that she always wants us visit one of her friends. I don’t mind come round and see her friends although sometimes it may be boring.This autumn we also decided to visit her. So, we have packed our bags, put them into the car and set off. The weekend was amazing. We eat a lot of delicious cakes, watched TV and looked through great number of old photo albums. Finally, as usual, we went to see one of my grandmother’s friends. She was a nice of woman of middle age. Firstly, I thought it will be quite a bored visit, but, in fact, it wasn’t. Since the first moment I noticed that the woman was a bit confused and even surprised, but I couldn’t understand the reason. Anyway, she was very good hostess. A bit later sitting at the table, I had felt that she was curiously looking at me. Besides, during the evening she called me the wrong name twice. I was really surprised by her behavior.Some time later she apologized and explained her odd behavior. The thing is that the previous summer she visited her son who lived in Krasnodar and the daughter of his neighbors bore a strong resemblance to me. So, if she didn’t know that I spent that summer in Perm with my parents, she will never believe her eyes.I wouldn’t say I was surprised a lot. I suppose that somewhere may be a person who looks like my twin. If such a person exists, I would like see her.
