LIGHTS OF ODESA

Life is slow by the beach in Odesa, so all that I check on the Internet is weather for a day. I like that combination of sophistication of the town with its brilliant architecture, funky coffee shops and fancy restaurants with casual leisure by the beach.

Many here take their health seriously so in the mornings by the sea find a lot of early risers enjoying their yoga, jogging or walking which is too an exercise on its own. They even have what is called a Health Track, which is a cycle path of about six kilometers (3.7 miles) that runs along the shore of Black Sea in a green belt. The absence of traffic provides a tantalizing portal on a time when humans and nature will no longer breathe the fumes of fossil-fueled transportation.

In the evenings, there is a bit of a different ambience, for sundown brings beautiful illumination and music of many genres. I enjoyed jazz the other night. The sounds of the saxophone under the stars at the beach definitely created a magical atmosphere.

And if the rush and hush of waves doesn’t bring happiness then I don’t know what will. It is quite a treat to awaken to that. Before you even open your eyes, you just hear the sea and feel the breeze. The Sea is definitely a beauty any time: astonishing sunrises, amazing sunsets, blue skies reflecting in the water at midday.

There is a feeling of coming to a fairy tale when everyone is fit and healthy and no signs of pandemic whatsoever. Maybe here vitamin D and Sea as well as Health Track and great food do their work properly. And talking about fairy tale one piece of news I think you might find entertaining ‘Real-life Rapunzel’ shows off two-meter/-long hair in incredible Disney shoot

That’s it for this week. Take care
