well hello from bulgaria everyone. i cannot upload any pics because i have no way of getting them from my computer through the internet cafe. i will try to find a wireless internet cafe in sofia. right now i am in blagoevgrad, spas and mina's hometown. it is beautiful, i guess the closest comparison that i can make is asheville, in europe, plus about 1 million more coffee shops. next week i am going to the beach, on the black sea. last week we went to milnik, a kinda medieval wine town. i was cool but a bit weird because only about 250 people live there so there was noone around. it was like a ghost town, but they had really good wine. lyala and i went hiking in the surrounding mountains and walked up on a black bear. thankfully he just ran away. anyways i will post pics and write more later. bye from the land of coffee and really bad 80s pop music.
