Returning to nature

I would not think ever that I will return to stay once again in Mangalia, which I considered it as another home. Here I began my work as a freelancer 5 years ago, it was taught but very rewarding in the end. I was very surprised when my life partner proposed to leave Bucharest and go to stay for a month in Mangalia. So yesterday we left Bucharest and around 7: 30 PM we arrived in Mangalia. The first impression was that after 5 years the city did not change so much. Probably the one major change was that none of our favorite or usual restaurants or coffee shops were open and this seems to be the case for all of them on this situation with coronavirus and this is a damn pity because of I forgot to take my expresso machine from Bucharest and I am so sad because the coffee, the boiled version is not the same and of course I wanted to have some breakfast, the American one with peanut butter at Calatis restaurant. But the beach, the air is incredible, the swans as 5 years ago are very friendly are coming very close to you they expected to be fed. I can wait to go for a run on the beach until the lighthouse and back. Today I went to do some groceries and I can say that people are more friendly. The weather is not so sunny but hopefully any time soon this will change and the water I assume that is still cold, but this must change soon because we want to cook some fresh shells from the sea. Now the evenings mean beach long walks and not staring at the movies in the room so some things are definitely better, but over the quality of life is better.
