We returned home and are preparing for the next trip. True, they still have not decided where to go next. Either to Serbia, or to Sochi to go. In the meantime, we think that winter is already coming, so in general it will be necessary to move to China. It's hard to be irrational, everything is constantly changing and every time all these trips do not fit together normally.
And this time we were leaving for a week, were in Kolomna 3 days, then in the settlement Mesopotamia 3 days and for a day we stopped by Glorious. We decided not to go to the camp site, but to visit friends. I will tell you about Kolomna separately, and now, in general, about the trip, feelings and plans.

Traveling just got a little easier
In total, we drove 1000 km by car. It's been a long time since we had such mileage. Apparently, our long-term trip to Gelendzhik affected, after which I wrote a post about traveling with a child. Oh, and we were tormented then. Although now only good moments are remembered. So then our main problem was that Yegor categorically did not want to sit in the car seat. But the years go by and now he only drives in it, after long hysterics and explanations, they were able to teach (Hallelujah!). Therefore, traveling by car has become somewhat easier. True, his mother has to entertain him in every possible way, toys, books, a tablet with a cartoon, and wonderful Lego are used. Some kind of salvation is direct, the child can get stuck for an hour, the main thing is to throw in a new part in time. Moreover, we had such a constructor, but pseudoLego, and for some reason it did not make such a splash as the original.
And with sleep it became easier too. Although Yegor did not start sleeping in the car, now we have only one day's sleep, and it can sometimes be sacrificed without any special consequences. The main thing is not to sacrifice for several days in a row and stop to rest for a day, staying in houses / apartments.
During the journey, even pistachio shells were used.
We visited the estate of the writer I. I. Lazhechnikov, my great-grandfather
My great grandfather. What do you think I look like him?
In Kolomna, even our ancestral street is, and not just a manor
Kolomna Kremlin in the background
There are very nice and tidy streets inside the Kremlin.
Pastille museum, trying different flavors
Museum of a communal apartment, I recommend everyone to go and remember how people once lived
Some kind of rally took place in Kolomna
The owners of the house where we lived gave Egor Lego and the child was stuck on the clock
Hookah was never smoked, Egor was unable to refuel it
Always wanted to be able to write articles outdoors
by the way, Thule stroller She also showed herself well on the trip. It was convenient to walk around Kolomna with her, she was able to ride on dirt roads in the fields. Arpenaz Family tent also did not disappoint, now I assemble / disassemble it much faster.
Plans for the future
The ride was a test ride to see if we could go further. We decided that we can, at least one way. All the same, the car is needed on the spot, so I have to drive it to its destination anyway. And, if the long mileage seems too difficult, then I will go back alone, sending my own by plane. It remains only to decide where to go next. The soul demands Serbia, the work says that it would be necessary to travel around Russia, while Yegor should go to China in general. Separate yourself at least 🙂
But in fact, before the next rehabilitation, in any case, you need to rest some more, otherwise Daria will go there without me and it will be more difficult for her. Something over the summer did not work out to rest, then there was rehabilitation, then the things that had accumulated were done, then Yegor gave the heat with his nightly waking up (by the way, not sleeping at night is quickly exhausting, enough a couple of times). In general, we decided that for now we need to rest a little more, and then, when mine leave for rehabilitation, I will stay hard to work, otherwise there is a crisis and all that, the foreign tourist flow is falling. But the Russian direction has good prospects, so it may well be that it's time to take a ride along the Golden Ring and others like it, trips from Moscow for the weekend most likely will not stop among the population.
As usual, everything is vague here and we will decide on the way. And then in the same Sochi two times they had to go, and the trip was broken both times, then Daria was sick, then things arose. But I really hope that we, in one composition or another, will visit the Krasnodar Territory, Serbia and a couple of Russian cities, such as Veliky Novgorod or Kazan (where there is a night from Moscow by train) before winter..
Thinking about a house in nature again
Hehe, we have these again thoughts about home. We drove through friends living in their own homes and this annoying thought about their home again came to mind. Honestly, if you get stuck in Moscow / Russia for a long time, then you want to live in a house where the area is large and the forest is visible from the window. Well, or at least not to live, but to come for a few days (or a week in a week), for example, on weekdays, since we are not tied to weekends. If the house is 100 km from Moscow, then the trip will not take long. To be honest, this is probably the only option that would suit me. Therefore, either emigrate or go home. It is also desirable that the house be near the house of friends.
Our family estate in Kolomna, no wonder I want a house too 🙂
After Kolomna, that is, for the remaining 4 days, we did not have the Internet. Megaphone did not catch 3G, and it was not up to it, it was a long time since we saw each other and talked with friends. In addition, we spent the night in a tent, swam in the river, conducted a camp life. It's funny, but after several days of voluntary downshifting it is very difficult to return to urban realities, to work, to business, to the dollar exchange rate, to social networks. Directly some kind of loss of freedom is felt, a return to the forced rat race. So, the less is needed in the material sense, the freer a person is, once again I am convinced of this. And if everything is in order with income, then freedom is formed from both sides: there is money, and there is no need to spend it. And in nature, I just want to move more, eat less rubbish, and the mood improves. It may sound romantic, but as a city person, nature is clearly not enough in my life. Here are some photos from Mesopotamia.
The beach of the settlement of Mesopotamia
We swam and ate watermelons all day
I managed to swim on a boat and show it to Yegor personally
The man was even allowed to bury
We learned the word bumblebee, how convenient it is when there are live exhibits, and not from pictures
Glasses are our everything
The still unfinished little house of our friends
The view from the window is conducive to writing something philosophical

Swing on the mountain with a stunning view
It was getting dark, so the view was captured only in the evening
The guys in Slavnoye have the entire plot in pines, a little more and they will live in a pine forest
