RE: Escaping to the Eastern Shore of Virginia

in GEMS3 years ago

i love the way how you're telling the story of your way to the shore house. that's very interesting details about the regular life in your country. very different. very.
I'm living just 30km from TelAviv and have to drive these 30 km every day to my workplace located in the center of the city. Some ppl say that I live in the far periphery 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Well, regularly it takes around an hour+ to drive these 30km. So daily 2 hours of traffic jams I'm trying to do something useful to do all this long way.
i love crabs. but only when they are already in my plate :-)

Sort:  

Living only 3 miles from the Pentagon (to give a reference point)when I first moved here, it took me over an hour to cover those miles. I moved further out and it takes me 55 minutes with traffic. So it was public transportation and now have time to spare, unless I drive, I don't dare post while driving! :)) It is all that we want for quality of life.

The shore house is great, but, it still needs to be kept up. So it is not all glorious, but, for the most part, it is. It has the ocean I grew up with, in a place that grows peace in its spare time and it is sparsely populated as there is no industry out there, mostly fishing and farming.

I love crabs and don't mind catching my own. Thanks for the visit and repost, Victor. I hope you had an amazing day. It should be almost time to join the rat race home again. :))

my pleasure Denise.
it was a very special post with all the small details of your regular life
"mostly fishing and farming" sounds especially good.
i'm finishing my workday just in one hour and going to my friend for a beer. he is living exactly in the middle of the way from TelAviv to my village. but the most important and wonderful part - today is the last day of the workweek - so my weekend will start in one hour with the beer :-)
hope that you have a good time in the shore house.
i also never use phone when i driving, only Waze and Spotify so i have no need to touch the phone..

Best of weekends to you! I hope you enjoyes the beer and company!

Stay safe always!

thank you ! was a nice evening at a friend's apartment.
but yesterday was a kinda crazy night in some not regular for me pub where my friend "The Great MAchine" band performed live. It was too strange to see them playing in some Jazz and soft music their super heavy rock'n'roll tunes. Anyway, people sit by the tables but very quickly learned from us that this is music for standing, digging and dancing :-)

Ha! Show them the way, Victor! @victorbz I am sure it felt out of place for a moment or three, but once you started grooving to the tunes, that was tossed out the window.

Sounds like a nice night! ;)

thank you Denise
