Winter can come
I do like all seasons and going from summer directly to winter would be too quick. Autumn is great. I like the colouring of the leaves, drinking warm tea inside and staring knitting again. But this year, winter cannot come fast enough for me. The reason is that I have a pair of brand new ski’s and I can’t wait to test them.
Last season I was introduced to off piste skiing (outside the slope) in deep and fresh snow. This was lot’s of fun, because we there was plenty of snow in western Norway. I know, I have been complaining about the snow in the mountains all summer, but now I wish for a lot of snow again, and very very soon!
Our last day in turkey: izmir
Kayaköy – the lost city
Kayaköy is a ghost town of 4000 abandoned stone houses. The city was abandoned in 1923 after the Turkish War of Independence.
Turkey
We are traveling through Turkey. It’s warm, the sun is shining and we are swimming every day. Yesterday, we found a small national park with a lovely canyon. Today, we drove to the south and are now enjoying the Turquoise Coast.
Travel diary
When we traveled to Pacific Northwest some years ago, I kept a travel diary. I did not write everyday, but I took the time to write a couple of pages every now and then. I wrote and made drawings (e.g. our travel route), lists and put pictures in the diary. I love to take the diary out of the shelf and browse through it from time to time.
Conference in Turkey
I am in Kusadasi in Turkey attending a conference on phenology. It’s the strangest conference that I have attended, because we are in a holiday resort and it does not feel like working. The temperature is very nice and I go swimming whenever I can squeeze it in between the talks. I had my talk on the first day and have talked to many people doing interesting things.
