A three-hour flight, lengthy check-ins, buying a SIM card and picking up a car, and then driving to Madaba. The city is not very pretty, but interesting from a historical perspective. Tomorrow, another 300-plus-kilometer journey to Wadi…madventure in # blurt • 3 days ago • 1 min readIt's a very rainy FridayToday's walk was in very changeable conditions. Rain in the morning, rain at noon, and rain in the afternoon. But despite the rainy weather, it was very colorful, almost fairy-tale-like. The birds were fed, although there weren't many of them today. The change in weather probably discouraged them from being active.madventure in # blurt • 4 days ago • 1 min readThursday definitely with a summer accentA strong gust of southerly wind made for some real fun today. It felt like July evenings. A long day, but few steps. Fantastic views and a play of colors. This is what we need. The visit to the park was a success. The birds were fed.

I went for a walk, as I would in winter – a hat, a warm jacket, and then the temperature surprised me. I had to undress after a few dozen meters. Indian summer. The walk was interspersed, partly in the park, partly by the pond, partly to the supermarket, and partly on the balcony, as…madventure in # blurt • 6 days ago • 1 min readAn optimistic, very autumnal TuesdayThe morning didn't look promising. Thick, low-hanging clouds heralded rain. However, shortly after noon, the sky cleared and the sun came out. A new chapter. I changed my resting place to a more intimate and unusual one. The park service hadn't arrived yet to collect the leaves, so the scenery was extraordinary. Walking along the…madventure in # blurt • 7 days ago • 1 min readDay full of sunshineMonday was a particularly successful day, with the sun appearing just after the fog cleared. A walk with a positive attitude kicked off a tough week. The oyster mushroom stand is doing very well. The mushrooms are growing like wildfire, and their numbers are increasing daily.

A huge number of mushroom patches have appeared in the forest. I can't remember a year with such a variety. I have a few interesting spots, so I'll try to photograph them tomorrow. Many people think of this mushroom as the…madventure in # blurt • 11 days ago • 1 min readThursday is a mixed bag, but acceptableThe day was a bit of a mixed bag. The morning promised to be sunny, then clouds appeared, and only in the late afternoon did the sun return. It's hard to know what to wear in this weather. There are still beautiful landscapes in the park and outside the window, and as soon as the sun appears, it gets hot from the autumn colors.…madventure in # blurt • 12 days ago • 1 min readDay gave us some sun, and that's enoughThere's no point in getting worked up about the Indian summer they're trumpeting every day. It's unlikely to happen, although I remember Novembers with temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius and Novembers with knee-deep snow—anything is possible.

The autumn grayness continued, and nothing surprised me. Nevertheless, the views remained beautiful. It drizzled practically all day, and I wasn't sure whether to open my umbrella or not. I spent most of the day under the trees, so I didn't need an umbrella. The birds…madventure in # blurt • 14 days ago • 1 min readIt seems like an unwanted day, but what a beautiful oneFinally, a Monday I'll remember fondly.

But I see a lot of optimism in the nation, and that's given me encouragement. Today, a few interesting things found in the park.

These paintings hang on the park gates, suggesting open-air…madventure in # actifit • 16 days ago • 1 min readSaturday in November, ugly, wet and darkOctober started off very unpleasantly this year, and we're already almost halfway through.

Last year at this time I was still wearing shorts and sandals. Today I'm in a winter jacket and hat. Such is the global warming we're experiencing.
