Встреча в Одессе (Первомай 2017) Meeting in Odessa (May Day 2017)

We decided to hold a kind of “mini-gathering” of the turpravdovites, since we have been communicating on the site for a long time and it would be time to turn virtuality into reality. The idea was in the air for a long time, but thanks to Irene48 it turned into a real plan: we are going to Odessa for the May holidays! But, most importantly: LaFifa took us under her “wing” — she provided us with attention and care, as well as useful information! Many thanks to her for this! So the weekend turned out great!

View from the City Garden

                                                                                           . . .

But, not empty-handed? And we went to the New Market (slightly in the other direction) for drinks and snacks! (Sarochka! So I look at you and think - what is more appetizing? V or ham on your counter? Jora! Don't think about V, V try! ).

New market where delicious food

                          Only the locals know the “secret paths” and “hot spots”, so although we wandered along the interesting streets looking at the sights, we got to the “wine point”. A pleasant tasting of different wines helped to relax after a tiring road. We chose for ourselves who liked what and went for snacks. (-A man walks around the market with a piece of paper. - Man! You forgot to buy a bow! - I don't have a bow. - so come here. I'll finish writing to you! )

The choice fell on Greek olives. LaFifa showed a wonderful shop in which there were many types of olives, oils and related products - we also bought soap. (Zyama! Why did they reduce the price of soap so much? You are dumping? - Moisha! Look how the price of ropes has gone up! )

Olive Paradise

Also, the snacks took the goat with a cheese of two varieties - refined and spicy. (Man, sho Vi all go and look and don't buy anything? You don't like anything? - Like it! - But sho, no money? - Yes! - Well, buy it! - Why? - Shoby eat! - Ah what am I doing? ).

And winding we went to Langeron beach. How long is it short... but we got it! We wound more than 11 km, and taking into account that we swept early in the morning with my husband to all interesting places, at the end of the day more than 17 km came out after the bus and a sleepless night. (Leva! I admire your feelings for Sofochka! You've been together for 30 years, but when walking around the city, nevertheless, keep your hands! - Sema! If I let her go, she will definitely buy something! ) .

Opera! Where we didn't get. . . it's better to book in advance!

Probably the most stylish city hall....

The same Seaside Boulevard (Do you see the dude in the hat? wow! )

Vorontsov Palace colonnade with a good view

On Greek Square

Nemo's Fountains

                                                               For Then, if I remember correctly, we ate a delicious lamb shish kebab (although there were doubts that it was lamb). It seems later we were offered a new smartphone on the cheap. The day was busy and it seems we went to check into our hotel (Can I rent something close to the sea and not expensive? There is an option: I'll make a bed for you on a buoy! ).

Langeron

The wine was delicious! Rapan for 3 UAH.

The next day, we were a little “twisted” (legs, backs and other halves after the bus and long walks) and it was decided to take pity on ourselves - we walked again, but in a “sparing” mode, sitting down wherever possible and enjoying the views. (Don't you know how to get to Deribasovskaya? - Me? I don't know how to get to Deribasovskaya? ! I don't know how to get to Deribasovskaya????!!! ! Fuck you! Ha! It's me I don’t know how to get to Deribasovskaya! ).

Do you know where Deribasovskaya is?

Once again we went to Lanzheron and watching the Odessa colorful fishermen competing in catching "gobies" and very elegantly burned - then everyone envied us. (Early morning, Shevchenko Park. An elderly couple is making a morning promenade. A man in a “beach” suit is moving towards the meeting. - Izya, do you still go to Lanzheron so early? Why, Vi, I still come back so late ).

Langeron Again

In the evening there was a "Turpravdov" dinner on Deribasovskaya in the City Garden. (Give me another serving! - Waiter: - Is it not enough for you? Or did you like it? ). This garden is a charming summer place where you want to sit and not rush anywhere. Since Irene 48 was busy (she herself told what, but I still didn’t understand : ), while waiting, we walked with LaFifa to nearby attractions (finally I got to the Passage) and saw a lot of interesting things (magnets for 2 UAH - but no one won't believe it! ). How good it is when there is “one’s own person” and will show and tell all the most interesting things from the life of Odessa! Thank you so much LaFife!

Again in the City Garden

Around the bride : )

Vera Kholodnaya

Heroes of the story. . . who knows? I didn't know. . . ashamed

Then we ate awesomely delicious fried fish - another dream came true!

Sorry, a snack in the evening at a rally of turpravda people : ) so that I have the strength for a walk

Then Irene48 arrived with wine and we went for another walk around Odessa - it was already nighttime! How beautiful Odessa is in a dress of garlands! Come and see for yourself!

Shah's Palace

Primorsky Boulevard is in bloom! : )

Thanks to the advice of the false and Irene48, we decided the next day to visit the Arcadia Beach - first of all because it can be reached on the tram number 5. We went to the brief name : ) and walked around the pavilions of Novy Privoz taking pictures of the sights (-How to get to Privoz? - 3 more stops. - But, I was told to get off here. - See in Odessa! sitting! ). And I finally appreciated Privoz, which somehow didn’t show up on the last trip.

On delivery

Were on Malaya Arnautskaya

Then we took a tram along French Boulevard and saw interesting buildings, the Botanical Garden and the Odessa Film Studio, as well as new skyscrapers. (Rosochka! Why is V not married yet? - Oh, sho Vi, Tsilya Abramovna! And why do I need a man in the house? While you are going to Privoz in a crowded tram, you will be so exhausted that no husband is needed! ) .

Arkady Beach struck with his luxury: Armdrates and cafes, there is an aquapark. Special “VIP” places for recreation “Ibiza”, “Ithaca” and so on and so forth have been built. (Fima! What will you do if I give you 1 thousand dollars? - First of all, I'll count them! ). This is for the rich, judging by the prices.

Bagato!

Check out the prices. . . and it's not the season!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 there in May there are people sunbathing, there are also places for mere mortals. (- Abrasha! Well, how are you rowing? Row your arms and legs harder! - Izya! What are you doing? - I'm teaching Abrasha to swim! - Can't you show it yourself? - Yes, I can't swim. . . I understand swimming! )

Here comes Arcadia

Arcadia

                                                                                                                                                                                                          − >

In the evening we again walked around the center (of course, along Deribasovskaya) and again ate fish in the city garden, but by ourselves.

We also rushed to sit in the City Garden before departure: a feeling of summer, happiness and... happiness!

assessed a wonderful resort full of life and mute even in "no season. " (A lot of people gathered at one of the intersections of Odessa. - Why did so many people gather? - a passer-by asks, - what happened? - Nothing, but everyone wants to see it for themselves! ).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ​

Failed to go to Odessa Opera - everything is reappeared in advance ( - Sarah! Want to go with me to Museum? - Oh, Yasha! Vi sho, the word "Rastorena" do not pronounce? ).

Of course, I would like to swim a little longer, but everything rests on money ( three stages of poverty in Odessa: 1. No money. 2. There is no money. 3. You have to change dollars ).

In general - take time to visit Odessa, since the stories, it's not all....each has its own Odessa!

- Listen, Chaim! You weren't in Odessa, so you lost half of your life! - And what kind of city is Odessa? - O! It's a very big city - it has more than a million inhabitants! - Are there any Jews there? - Is Vi sho deaf? - Well, all right, I'll come to Odessa. Where will I live there? - At the mine! - Where can I find you? - Oh my God, my! Go to Malaya Arnautskaya 23, go into the courtyard and shout: Ra-bi-no-vi-ch!! ! All windows will open except one. It will be me, Shapiro.

Well, what can you say for Odessa? I can't speak for the whole of Odessa, it's still too big! I don’t know about anyone else, but for me this is a special city where I’m interested in returning, also because... here you can watch the sea for free! : )

With love for Odessa
