Just Sitting Under a Tree

I snapped that picture for you literally just a minute ago.

Right this second, I’m enjoying a break from the conservation workshop to sit under a tree and trying to relax and just enjoy the air.

I arrived in Emona a couple of days ago. It’s a very tiny village just outside of Obzor on the coast of the Black Sea. Tourists don’t come here because the road leading up is… Destroyed doesn’t really convey it. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. It takes dirt road to a whole new level.

The locals are fighting to keep the government from repairing the road. They don’t want the tourists to come and the really don’t want someone to build a hotel right on the hill and block the view.

It’s beautiful and peaceful and remote here. They want to keep it that way. A little slice of a long lost way of life only with internet access and 4×4 Jeeps.

I should probably go back to relaxing now.
