Blueberries in american way.

-  Let's go to the farm to pick blueberries. for an hour we are going to pick a couple of buckets.
- So you are trying to say there is a plantation of blueberry in a forest?
- Not a bilberry, but а blueberry. Not in a forest, but in a garden.
- I have to see this!

The buckets.


A farm.

Unripe blueberry.

The ripe bilberry   blueberry.


The ratio of blueberry bush and the height of an adult man.




The ratio of size of berry and children' hands.





We spent just 30 minutes and got wet/sweaty/red.
But it was enough to pick the bucket of blueberries.

How I spent my summer

 The summer was simple. We did not go anywhere and spent our time in the backyard making BBQ. I'm thrilled we had a chance to explore the biggest USA national parks in the spring before I started a full-time job.

Road trip. Stop in New Mexico

Image
Our another road trip for our family. 6 days and 5 nights in different places,  2 new states and almost 2500 miles / 4100km in the car. It could be a trip from Stavanger to Milan and back to Stavanger. Our first stop was Santa Fe , the town full of art galleries, beautiful architecture, gorgeous landscape, and comfortable the humidity of the air. It was just 12% in Santa Fe when the humidity in the Houston area is about 60-70% all the time. The difference in temperature and the common feeling in new conditions was significant.  Next stop is   Aztec Ruins : the footprints of Pueblo people who lived here until the 13-th century. The question of why they chose this place to stay at and why they left this place is still unanswered.

There is one more must-to-see destination in Texas. Be prepared to book the time in advance to visit Hamilton Pool.  It takes 3 hours of driving from Katy to reach the target. So plan the trip so you can go somewhere else after spending time in the pool. Woke up at 05.00 and went out at 05.45 to be at 09.00 am. Last steps... And my first impression ... What a heck! The pool is smallish, the place is undersized, everything is so gray and dark...  I felt myself frustrated and disappointed, because I had HUGE expectations.    The photos from the internet lied as usually - too much Photoshop. But after a while the sun came out and lit up the already crowded place so the picture/impression has changed.  I did swim for 5 minutes but sprang out from the pool when I saw in  water a turtle with a head above the water. Almost tame/pet catfish close to shore made my time in water more unpleasa...
