Hi!

Fitness anon here… 

Perks of living in Europe and having more than one kid I can actually assure you that everything a certain blogger emphasises as special we do here more or less regularly.

We drive more than two hours on a weekend to go to a beach, visit friends or basically have a nice time with family and friends away from home. Our kids are familiar with this way of life from an early age and adapt in general very well. 

Europeans are really capable of handling these kind of things all at once and we really like to have this kind of experience with our kids like a short sightseeing trip, visiting capitals of our neighbouring countries, exploring different countrysides or visiting historical places or museums.  So nothing special or unusual at all. 

But maybe for some blogger who is not interested in actual facts, it is just mind-blowing and does not fit into the agenda.

I am really sorry (not!) if I have destroyed an illusion someone wanted to create for some people. 

And also as usual - as pointed out in previous posts - all of the reels were down by herself. No doubt about it.

Dear (returning) Fitness Anon,

Thank you, as always for coming back with more witty insight. Lifestyles across the world vary and, of course, US vs Europe is no exception.

But when you are THE Troll of an entire fandom and you do have a history for being used to promote various convenient narratives, you certainly do not bother explaining these to your essentially US-based followers. Who could not care less about anything, unless it fits their own limited views, I am very sorry to say it.

I remember lots of week-ends spent with family and friends, when I was a child. Yes, even in a dark, grey Eastern European country with severe food shortages during the second half of the 80s: we made do and God, we were resourceful!

So much so, in fact, that I kept the week-end travel habit for life. Probably dozens of city breaks, at home and abroad. Never regretted a thing.

That being said, a divorced parents' child would perhaps need to keep a consistent routine of sorts. I remember the absurd fuss about it when I was one of those children, a long time ago, even if my father never wanted shared custody. He just, heh: he just left and that's it. But this is just me, maybe - still, something strikes me as odd, in all this.

And yeah, I totally agree. Clearly a dynamic duo trip: why do people have to make a whole bunch of crazy speculations about it is certainly beyond me.

Here, Anon, to say thanks for dropping by. A random sunset pic from a week-end trip to the Danube Delta. Evening boat tour on Lake Razelm, something not easy to sort out. But my fingers itch already for the wheel, all summer long. To entice all of you with off the beaten track stuff from home:

Danube Delta

We've spent 3 days in the Danube Delta on a small boat with a guide from Ibis. We cruised the river channels, old channels, meanders, canals, and lakes. It was a very relaxing few days and we saw a lot of birds.

Unfortunately, the weather gods decided to make it clear that it was really fall and we had a front come through and lower the temperatures to about 40 degrees. We had brought layers of clothing that would have been fine for normal temperatures but were not enough for the temps we got. Fortunately, Daniel brought a bag of heavier coats and we were fine.

We were a little late for the main migration of birds through the area. But we still saw a lot of birds and the area was pretty quiet, no one around except for local fishermen.

Cormorants

We saw a lot of cormorants, both regular and dwarf. (Although I was not reliably able to tell them apart.)

We watched a huge flock of cormorants fishing ahead of us and as we approached they took off in a massive confusion of birds. Unfortunately, my camera is not fast enough to capture this with the clarity it deserves, so this is not a great photo, but it does capture the scene.

We watched a mass of white pelicans fishing. While the white pelicans in the US dive head first into the water to catch fish, here they mass together and drive the fish ahead while they hoover them up. It was fascinating to watch.

Note the cormorants following along capturing the stunned fish that escaped.

There were the White Pelican.

And the larger Dalmation Pelican.

And lots of views along the waterways.

It was a peaceful, relaxing few days with a continuous array of birds.

Now we head back to Bucharest and soon the Danube River Cruise.

The Danube Delta

Europes second largest river delta, the Danube Delta, was one of the most memorable places on our trip so far. A unique and magical place. A place of beauty and reflection. Home to a few hardy souls. Home also to hundreds of species of birds, fish, and other flora and fauna. Yet also a fragile ecosystem threatened by man’s actions. Inaccessible by road, the only way to really appreciate it is by…

Très bien avec une seule réserve : le casting, qui fait que ça sonne faux quand arrive l'aide sociale à l'enfance qui parle de "l'enfant", terme déj�� inapproprié pour un garçon censé avoir 17 ans, encore plus avec le physique de Ciprian Chiujdea qui a aujourd'hui 23 ans.
