I have such a friend, his name is przemekzawada.com<\/a> and sometimes I consider it a better version of the internet. One that doesn't always say "it depends," even if it does. To this day, I remember how he explained to me what it was like to go through the woods during a rally. It sounded like this, here I apologize in advance for the quote: \u201cMaciek, it is impossible to imagine it. You ride and everything fucks you up ". Since then, I have noticed many situations in my life with this feeling. For example, when I tried to convince myself that gravel on singles can replace MTB. I have exactly the same feeling when, after months of absence from Warsaw, I enter the city from Blue City. The number of stimuli per second corresponds to approximately three months in M\u0119cika\u0142a. Although it may not be difficult, considering that when living in the countryside, you enter a two-week visit on your list of important events. garbage cans<\/em>. We are, of course, talking about the mixed one, because it's a paper one garbage can<\/em> comes once a quarter. Apparently, because I never knew her before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever follows the blog knows that for two or three years he does not have to do it too meticulously. I would say that the frequency of the paper garbage can is sufficient. In the summer we emigrate to the countryside and the perception of the world is changing. Shopping generally loses sense then, because you don't need anything, and you don't have to change your clothes (unless a garbage truck or courier comes). Working equipment does not need to be improved, because it works. And if it does not work, it is always silvertejp and then "it will last a week". It's amazing how much water in the Brda passes from the time the sole in the shoe begins to peel off to the day it falls off. Actually, I don't know how many. There is no need to exercise too much, because you are still one of the "best" in the area. Is it a question of average age over 65? Maybe. There is no point in writing a blog ... or for what, I don't know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to stop here, because despite strenuous attempts, I cannot find the topic for this post. Last year, I tried to sum up my stay of several months by writing Fr. Zaborski National Park<\/a> - I even called it "episode I" and none came out. In this, I will no longer set out "the best cycle loop in the area". Well, for 3 months spent in K\u0142odzko Valley<\/a> it was much easier. To this day, I do not know what to say to my friends coming to M\u0119cika\u0142a. There are no things worth seeing here. I mean differently - they are there, but I cannot indicate specific or clearly answer what is coming here for. There are shelters, mountains, lakes, roads with views, the Czech Republic in Kotlin, mainly forest, no forest and no lakes. So the most frequently given counseling answer is "I don't know, take a ride in that direction". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, we discovered such surprises as: walking football, boules tournament, reconstructions of fights and sieges, operettas, fire fighting tournaments, harvest festivals, international Kashubian rally, etc. It turns out that when you have infinitely fewer events than in Warsaw, they definitely become more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here is a post without content, but with photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First point. Life in the countryside is fun. Recently, they even put up a few lanterns for us. It doesn't change the fact that if you work 9-17 you walk everywhere in the dark. This is almost true - we noticed a duty: most shops \/ eateries in the area (in the sense of 20 km) are roughly open 9-15 \/ 16, which means that if the work is demanding, you will go to the store on the weekend. Unless for chain stores, that's normal. In the urban vision of living in the countryside, it is forgotten that half the year it is dark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, of course, the great darkness has some advantages. For example, things appear in the sky:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy a lens long enough, such things even get interesting. With my 600mm purchased especially for visits to the forest, I can see from M\u0119cika\u0142 who sits in my seat in my Warsaw office. I can also see the moon quite well. Unfortunately, the moon is interesting for the first 2 days, then it only differs in size and color, but this can be improved in Lightroom<\/em>. Thanks to this, I do not have to go out in my pajamas to the garden, risking trampling on the frog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I quickly discovered that you don't have to get up at all to look at the sky, just bend down on the loo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
