The power of Facebook is really unbelievable sometimes! Anne Mikaela Levine from Finland posted an old memory from Dubrovnik, trying to find a little girl that was with her on a photo. Thirty-years ago Anne had obviously spent a family holiday in Dubrovnik and sat for a minute on the stone base on a statute in a square. Just as the camera clicked to record the family holiday a young, local girl joined in, for a moment they were friends.
''Testing the power of Facebook. Dubrovnik, old town, 1984. Who is the girl (to the right), who became my best friend for a moment in time? Can you help me find her? Please share!'', Levine wrote on her Facebook profile and soon this post had gone viral and was all over the Facebook.
After more than hundred shares the girl, now a lady, appeared in comments.
''Lovely photo, it’s taken near my home, so nice memory from Dubrovnik market (Placa) in a front of Ivan Gundulic monument, I’m so happy!!!'', wrote Zore Vukanović, who recognised herself on the photo after the local website shared this post. Adding that “Next time when you come to Dubrovnik hope we will take photo at the same place.”
Strangely it also appears that Levine had visited Dubrovnik in 2012, and had sat in the same place, and had had her photo taken again. “We where there in June 2012, sitting at the monument, taking photos and remembering you. This is quite unbelievable,” commented Levine.
Both of the ladies seemed delighted by this happy ending and also showed interest to recreate the photo when they meet again. We sure hope they will!
