Week 23. Souvenirs in Evpatoria

Week 23
Date - 9th of March - 16th of March
Topic - Travelling. Souvenirs. Writing postcards.

I always thought the native city of Evpatoria - spent my childhood there, but due to recent events I almost nothing to do with it. But nevertheless there are wonderful sea and beautiful beaches. Souvenirs there usually sell very many, but they all generally refer to the trash. But people are used to buy, so they are in great demand.

I can't say that it's bad, because that's the way the locals earn their living. Often people with disabilities among them, they create a lot of souvenirs with their hands and then sell, or sell for sale. The most common is of course the sink brine, dried crab, a variety of beads and all sorts of ridiculous t-shirts. In General, most of the Souvenirs in Kiev, for example, would never have bought it, but that's the point...

Although I agree that the tradition of buying gifts is meaningless tradition. As to drag all this stuff close friends who then vicinity can't, and suffer with them.

Week 22. My trip in Italy

Week - 22
Date - 2nd - 9th of March
Topic - Sightseeing. Report from the trip.

In July 2012 I with my sister and Vika Antonovich traveled to Italy. We flew on the aircraft company Alitalia and landed in Rome. There was a stopover on a plane to Florence.

We stayed in a beautiful, completely accessible to people with disabilities, the hotel Casa Vacansa I Girasoli, which was located 100 km from Florence. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, lots of delicious Italian food, a warm pool and a beautiful view. We lived there for 9 days.

Every day was very informative excursions - we went to the Florence, Pisa, Lucignano, Cortona, Pienza and one of the best circuit in the world Mugello Circuit. The peculiarity of all trips was of course the food, we are constantly eating, both at the pump and in the prestigious private restaurants and private clubs.

To describe the whole trip is simply impossible, Italy has very many beautiful monuments and rich history. The organisers tried to make us such a rich program, while not overloading us. Before lunch we sunbathed and swam in the pool, and after dinner went for a tour.

That was a wonderful 9 days of my life! The first time I was abroad for the first time so far from home was being in a wheelchair. This trip marked the beginning of my independent life and travel in a wheelchair.

And hotel pool lifts:
