Private Island Useppa

/in /by

I love traveling and do it very time I get an opportunity.  This weekend, my destination was Private Island Useppa.

Private Island Useppa is one mile long and a third of a mile wide.  Yet it manages to host hundreds of exquisite creatures and inimitable landscape.  I was walking down the pass way surrounded  by the archways of banyan trees, and many beautiful and  exotic flowers and other tropical vegetation, The truly tropical island, the smell, the colors, the sooting sound of the waters surrounding the land…all was perfect.  It reminded me one of my childhood dreams when I was dreaming to find myself on the deserted island full of lash of tropics and here I was!

The only way you can get to this private island of Useppa is only by the boat or a ferry.  From day one, Useppa has been the premier private home port and fabulous destination for the cruising yachtsman on the west coast of Florida.

The island is very small however there is so much to do!

Do you like to fish?   If this is what yo unlike to do you will find some of the world’s finest tarpon, snook, and redfish angling, which is easily accessible by boat and yacht or fishing kayaks which we have for rent at Joseffa’s store.  Fishing charters are also available near private island Useppa.

Do you like to go Kayaking?  Great! During your stay on the island you will have the opportunity to visit the islands and beaches by kayaking!

Maybe you feel like Croquet or Tennis?  The beautiful Florida sunshine and breeze makes for an ideal venue for those activities.

Cayo Costa State Park is only a boat ride away from Useppa Island.  Taking a day trip to the park is a fun way to explore more of this hidden oasis. The 2,426 acre park has nine miles of pristine beach and is known as a Gulf Cost paradise.  Yet the island of  Useppa is not too bad itself.  The  surrounding beauty truly impressed me.  The huge trees were on left and right.

I think this was one of my favorite times on the island.  I was mesmerized by the massive size and stable grounding on a such small island.  Those trees stood strong during the hurricanes!

And Here is me on the tree!   My friend Ryan took this picture for me.  My passion is photography.  I took tons of more pictures, which can be viewed on my Instagram: http://instagram.com/oceanicblueretreats/

Poland

/in /by

Poland is above all the charm of a country faithful to its traditions: religious fervor is one of the most important aspects of a stay in Warsaw or Krakow.

But that’s not all: the local cuisine, the colorful houses of the cities center and varied architecture in Poland still deserve at least a week.

Slavic tradition is still very present in Poland. Dance, music and architecture prove every day that two world wars and 40 years of Soviet presence and influence have not removed their culture to the Poles.  I was not impressed with Poland.  The life there was slow, not innovative.

I did like the beautiful fields of poppy flowers.

It is for this atmosphere that is just in Poland, but also for its lush forests, mountains and clear lakes.

Soviet Georgia – it was a great state

/in /by

Soviet Georgia is probably one of the best experiences in my life.

საქართველოს კულტურის ღრმა ფესვები ჩემი პერსონა. ამ ტიპის საცხოვრებელი არასოდეს არ იქნება წაართვეს ჩემთვის . კავკასიის მთებში კანონები და სამართლიანობა და ჭეშმარიტი ადამიანის ბუნება გაიმარჯვებს. ძველი პატივს სცემენ. ახალგაზრდული მიღებული ზრუნვა . პატივისცემა ნომერ პირველი პრიორიტეტია. თქვენ შეიძლება იღუპება , მაგრამ იძლევა თქვენი ბოლო ნაჭერი პური , ვინც სჭირდება …

ლამაზი tbilis, მენატრება იმდენად. ჩემი სახლი, ჩემი ხალხი, ჩემი ახალგაზრდობა, ჩემი მკვდარი სამეზობლოში. მე ტირილი შესახებ, ლამაზი ქვეყანაა დღემდე . საქართველო, ლამაზი ქვეყანაა, თქვენ ყოველთვის ჩემს გულში , ლამაზი საქართველოში.

Soviet Georgia is definitely gives you the lessons that are very useful in the future life.

The country went throughout many changes.  It is located in between Europe and Asia, between North of Christian cultures and South Muslim cultures.  The country consisted of more then 80 different nationalities that a lot of the time intermarry each other.  There are more then 80 languages are spoken.  The second language of this country was Russian. Me being 100% Russian, gave me a great advantage in school since this was the language I was using home.  On the streets, of cause, it was Georgian, Armenian and some Turkish.

Soviet Georgia is boarded by the most beautiful Caucasus mountains that block cold air from North and surrounded by the two a good size seas.  Black sea is on the West and Caspian sea is on the East, which gives a lot of humidity.  This is unique place has subtropical weather, where fruits and vegetable flourished.

Soviet Georgia was very much into hospitality.  It welcomed strangers and was kind to them.  It was known for its production of fine wine, tea and spices. The city was beautiful!  A little moms and pops shops served chazapury, traditional Georgia pastries and turkish coffee. The smell of spices was in the air, which was mixed with maintain clean air.

Of cause going throughout a couple of wars has changed and people because more frugal.  Those qualities were lost and it all became about the surviving.

The food when it was plenty was amazing.  The tradition was is to make tables outside for the entire community and have parties that lasted for three or four days. Women were always busy at work, cooking and cleaning.  Some of the best dishes were cooked for the period of two or three days.  The music and laughter filled the little neighboring communities.

Soviet Georgia was a beautiful state on one point of its life.  I hope it recovers some day from all the violence ..ლამაზი საქართველოში
