[…in progress…] We left our hotel after 11AM. We walk down using narrow stairway, and later – a narrow street. People’s living rooms and windows are opening directly into the street. While walking you are a witness to people’s lives, and they do not mind it. We ate our breakfast […]
The walking stage of the hike was closing to an end, and bike portion was fast approaching. Crossing Saco river took about 15 minutes. First, a test cross with only valuables, and then second crossing with 2 sticks in both hands and a backpack. Rain started again, I did not know what […]
This dedication is to America the beautiful after 30-year trip into American Dream. Yes! Back in 1991-92 a Russian immigrant couple from Moscow watched pivotal events unfold in Russia from Adams, MA and listened to a short-wave radio to get the news from across the pond. Then, they took […]
Rephrasing the famous song, in the wild you acutely responsible for . . . Every move you make, Every step you take. If you slip and fell – it is your responsibility. If you forget to pack something – it is your responsibility. There is no way of escaping this […]
[…in progress…] Today we spent almost entire day driving from Pitigliano to Napoli. We paid €65 cash and left the place around 10:30. We set GPS to one of the hotels in Napoli from my list, and it showed that we need to drive over 350 km, and if driving […]

I woke up at 6AM in Boston, and quickly completed last preparations. Just before 7AM, I was on my way to New Hampshire. Weather was getting darker and rainier, so I still entertained a possibility of changing the ambitious plans or to scale them down. The only new thing on […]
Everything is ready for the trip to Wild River wilderness. This time I am planning to stay in the wild 2 nights from Friday to Sunday and return to the car on my bike on Sunday. Monday as usual would be a “freelance” day for light exploration and contemplation. I […]
[…in progress…] Today is Saturday. After breakfast, we checked out, but spent another 45 minutes in the pool. Guests from yesterday have already left the night before or earlier this morning. We had the entire property to ourselves. We departed from Agriturismo “La Quiete” near Cecina at 12:00 noon. We […]
Let’s say you moved pictures from your smart phone to a PC, but you want to know, where this picture was taken. Most likely picture would have a GPS information attached to it (unless you explicitly disabled that feature on your phone). Open picture properties (Alt + Enter) and check […]
Today is Friday. We woke up at 7:22, and had a luxury to gather our things slowly. No rush. No hurry. Our next stop is Villa Puccini that is 67 km away. We are now turning back South. Yesterday we reached our North-most point in the trip – Levanto. Today […]
