The more I travel, the more I get interesting. people: how they live, how they came to this way of life than do and so on. So I am very glad that once we took the decision to use the opportunity will stop someone in away, be it our reader or cpc surfing. And now constantly pay attention, how much depends on perception of a city from a person receiving us. First time i have this felt when we were in Belaya kalitva. That’s honest, it is unlikely we ourselves, in self-visit would pay attention to different corners and surroundings of this city. And it’s not even some “chips” of a particular place and stories about it, but rather that during conversations, you can feel what people live here, so to speak, learn a little life from the inside and join it.
Within the project Russia for 365 days, Elena invited us to visit Demina, who lives in the village of Kamennomostsky (Khadzhokh). We are happy agreed, because it is really interesting how they live in the mountains villages (about the foothills in Apsheronsk, we have already written), and besides, I have long wanted to look at the Lagonaki plateau in an already conscious age

How people go to the village
Elena 10 years ago moved to live in Khadzhokh from St. Petersburg. Happened it is by the will of “the case.” She originally bought a little village home as a summer house, and she herself came to Adygea in the summer to organize in future travel agency. Drove a group, engaged in excursions, walked a constant stream of people, local only diva given her success. It was the end of the season and it was necessary to return home to Peter and finally open your tourist office. On return to big city and jostling, after a while it covered her head and terribly pulled back into the mountains. Remembering that she has in Khadzhokh little house, without thinking twice, she left her business, collected backpack, took an armful of her daughter and went to live in the village. And in the yard then was the month of January—

What for? Why? – Here is your rhythm, work for yourself, life without invented and imposed by society values, was the answer. The real life – here, outside the city and bustle! Although at first Lena was afraid of her own desires, she was afraid that she was not like everyone else, while remaining not understood by her friends and acquaintances. Time passed, my soul was calm and good. Creative arts (souvenirs) began to bring money. The daughter grew up and went to study in Peter, although she was thinking all the time return.
When I listen to such stories, I myself feel better that I’m not the only one “strange” if I am not motivated by money, but completely different things: the sun, the forest, fresh air, simple but free life, when it’s good to just be and enjoy the moment. In addition, as practice shows, it is never too late to change your life and start from scratch, move, even if you have children, and you a woman, not a man.
Fossil seekers are not born
We were lucky to see and touch ammonites with our own eyes, as well as chat with a person who is engaged in their search and processing. Eugene, a former trolley bus driver in Maykop, once visited the mountains and found ammonite, and this determined him a dozen years ahead. He moved from Maykop to Khadzhokh and he now has his own collection of fossils, even his own open museum.
I admit honestly, until this moment I did not know anything about the existence of ammonites, even the words of this did not know. Hard to imagine imagine that you hold in your hands an item that is hundreds of millions years old! I can’t imagine 10 thousand years for myself, but here everything is for millions is calculated. And this is not just some kind of stone, this thing. swam, crawled, lived my life.
Of course, we all touched, asked about the treatment, visited the workshop. Although the part goes on sale, There are a lot of exhibits, and there are enough unprocessed to miss the whole winter.
