#the biggest downside was the huge wildfire that happened to be not that far away from my aunt's place where we stayed

"Maybe the amount of extraordinary things that happen in your life depends on what you notice."

[Which, of course, is easier when one is on vacation and happens to stay at one of the, imho, most beautiful places in existence]

#vacation time #the chaos talks #our stay had some ups and downs (mostly due to people being people meaning there's always potential for conflicts) #but all in all it was wonderful to enjoy the peace and quiet and the wonderful countryside and the amazing food #even the car ride was rather peaceful #we listened to some audio books and enjoyed watching the landscape change as we passed through #lots of 'nothing' to look at #also the ocean was very cold (it's the Atlantic - i didn't really expect anything different) but swimming in it was still very nice #the biggest downside was the huge wildfire that happened to be not that far away from my aunt's place where we stayed #that was really scary #all because some idiots thought having a barbecue in the middle of summer when everything is bone-dry would be a good idea #thanks guys you just caused ~7.000 hectares of land to burn down just so you could have your steak. great job. #july 2023 #august 2023
