You can also interpret many sayings about this tour: ...you don't have to go far away...or...just DO it, preferably with good friends and enjoy....and you'll soon be back (in these chaotic times ) aware of how well we are doing here.

Free time is the greatest luxury. 😌🍀
Today I went forest bathing again.
Yesterday, in my admiration for the wild and beautiful boys, I completely overlooked the lily of the valley. Oops 😉😅
I love this time of year.
The colors, the blossoms, the scent, and the melody. 🌺🌿🦅⛰
