Man, what a day! I swear, Sudak really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m an estimator, so I’m all about numbers and plans. But today? Plans went out the window faster than a seagull snatching a chip. I hit the streets, cruising down Kirova Street, thinking I’d grab a coffee at my fave spot, Café Dacha. But guess what? Closed! Like, seriously? It’s a tourist town, people need caffeine!
So, I’m wandering around, trying to find a backup. I end up on the waterfront, and wow, the view is killer. The Black Sea is glistening, and I’m like, “Okay, maybe today won’t suck.” But then, bam! A wave crashes, and I’m soaked. Great. Just great. Now I smell like fish and regret.
I finally find a café on Gagarina Street. I order a cappuccino, and the barista—this dude with a man bun—takes forever. I’m tapping my foot, getting angrier by the second. I mean, c’mon, it’s just coffee! I’m about to lose it when he hands me this tiny cup. I’m like, “Dude, I ordered a cappuccino, not a shot of espresso!”
After that caffeine fiasco, I head to the market on the corner of Kirova and Pushkina. I’m looking for some fresh produce for a project I’m estimating. The vendors are all shouting, trying to outdo each other. It’s chaos! I love it. I grab some tomatoes, and this old lady starts haggling with me. I’m like, “Lady, I’m not here to barter, just take my money!”
Then, I bump into an old buddy from school. We start reminiscing about the good ol’ days, you know? Sudak’s changed a lot since then. The old fortress on the hill looks even more majestic. I mean, who doesn’t love a good castle? But then he mentions the new hotel they built near the beach. Ugh, it’s like they’re ruining the vibe!
Anyway, we part ways, and I’m feeling nostalgic. I stroll down to the Sudak Fortress. The view from up there is insane! I snap a pic for the ‘gram, and suddenly, I’m feeling all philosophical. Like, “What’s the point of life?” But then I remember I have a deadline for my estimates, and I’m back to reality.
I rush back to my office on Lenin Street, and guess what? My computer crashes. Just my luck, right? I’m screaming at the screen like it’s its fault. I mean, c’mon! I’ve got numbers to crunch!
Finally, I get everything sorted, and I’m heading home. I pass by the beach again, and it’s packed. Families, kids, everyone’s having a blast. I can’t help but smile. Sudak, despite the chaos, has this charm. The sunset is gorgeous, painting the sky in pinks and oranges.
I get home, plop on the couch, and think, “What a day.” I’m exhausted but happy. Sudak, you wild city, you’ve got my heart. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
