rain in Wageningen

From it happens in...

L.E.: A rain passed by Wageningen. Nothing special from where I work: water going down, a few thunders ... relaxing rain. On the other corner of Wageningen ... you can see what a thunder can make. Luckly there were no wounded.

Addicted

Hy! My name is Mircea and I'm a bike addicted (also). :)

sand in my shoes
It was last Sunday around noon. I build up some courage, picked up my pin card and went to the shop ... and I wake up on the dike, the Rijn dijk in Wageningen :). I was planning for some biking but there were some unfinished work on my desk ... so back to Dijkgraaf.
In the afternoon, after I chased the clouds away, I gathered the few needed stuff and went away ... ok ... now were ... hmm, the open flat fields that I first tried on long trips, a while ago weren't so attractive ... than be it all the way to the forest. From Bennekom to Ede and then entering the national park ... only on the bike's road ... boring. So I couldn't help myself and I entered directly into the forest, I mean through narrow ground paths, as almost all my route that day was through the woods. In a few words: merveilleux, fantastic, no comment ... perfect fresh air, no one around, woods like in my hometown, almost 20km/h on on trees' roots at 1cm near the water ... Oh ... about the sand, I really had sand in my shoes from the wadlopen (I hadn't got time or ... I was too lazy to clean then up).

further, a little bit further
As an awful head ache was threatening my sleep I went down planning to take a tour on the dike ... only on the part from Wageningen. As my mood was going upper and upper, the landscape was gorgeous (the sun was way down, all the valley was bit by bit sinked in mist, from Arnhem heavy clouds and thunders were coming), I pushed myself a little bit and a little bit more all the way to Rhenen. To be honest, I don't know if it's far or very close; for me was a real adventure and a ticket to a good night sleep.

forest ahead
And I've just got the taste of it. Yesterday I went again, this time with Cipri. Hmmm...where should we go ... on the Rhine valley all the way to Renkum and back on the other side of the Wageningen's "mountain":). And guess where we end up ... into the forest, to be more precise a fir wood (that I truly madly deeply love).
As the number 3 is a winning one ... it took me 3 attempts to find the good way without any canals or fences at the end :)

good night kangaroos
Today, my feet weren't happy to sit on the couch, so I took them ... to the Rhine dike, all the way from Wageningen to Rhenen. I think someone has shorten the road, it went so quick, all the way, but I earned my good sleep for tonight. And they told me "slaap lekker"... them ... the small kangaroos at the end of the dike.

And the lucky thing ... a pair of birds have made their nest in my garage ... and the birds' poop brings luck :)

Words about a traineeship...

AIESEC Iasi newsletter

Once upon in May

My backpack and a bunch of AIESEC-ers or only myself or just people, rain over the mountains, sunset over the sea, forests and roads, strange languages, new people, ordinary persons that are shining through only one spot, good bye endings with "see you somewhere in Europe", first time ever, step after step ... it begun in the late April and ended with the first days of June. This is my May, a piece of dream becoming reality, tempering my thirst of stepping, growing my hunger of living.
There are images sticking to my eyes, strength arousing in my joy, dreaming, fighting, smiling, trying, tasting, life kicking out, further and further.
Life happens now.
