Day 3 - 7:00 a.m.
So, Kevin and I both forgot to bring alarm clocks. . . so it made for an interesting first evening here. After going for 30+ hours without sleep, I was quite nervous that I wouldn't wake up before 6 p.m. the next day - but somehow we did.
By the way - Kevin talks in his sleep. Last night around 12:45 we all turned in and called it a night, and then we went to our rooms. Well, once there we had to have "the talk." "The talk" was about how situation with the restroom . . . in Bulgaria you cannot flush toilet paper. So, you go through the motions as normal . . but after the wipe - you have to throw the paper in a bucket that STAYS in the room.
Yes people . . . I'm being honest.
After our talk, we put away our stuff . . . and then Kevin got on into bed, and then began having a conversation with me - - - while he was asleep. It was by far one of the strangest things I've been a part of. I couldn't stop laughing at his nonsense.
After a quick shower - - got right on to sleep. Woke up around 3 a.m. to find that Kevin had woken up at the same time as me . . . we starred at one another, and said . . . "It's 3 a.m. . . . what do we do?" Kevin - "We go back to sleep." Tyler - "What if we don't wake up in time?" Kevin - "It'll be ok, we will."
So we did just that. . . and thankfully we woke up at 6:30 a.m. to the sounds of our good friend Eddie coming to save the day . . errrr, morning.
We're all just getting ready to eat breakfast, and then we'll have like 2 or 3 hours until we head to the Rila Monastery. Here's some pictures from Google - and hopefully I'll be able to load some personal pictures later tonight.

Used toliet paper in a bucket! Is this bathroom shared just by you and Kevin or are there others? How often is this bucket emptied? I would like to know if you knew what the word-fight on the plane was all about. What could two women that obviously do not speak the same language fight over. Have fun today, but do get some much needed rest tonight.
ReplyDeleteFrom your mom that loves sunflowers!
. . . we have no idea when it gets dumped. It's kinda gross, but you get used to it quite quickly. And yes, it's just me and kevin that share it. it kinda forces you to get really close to your roommate.
ReplyDeletethe fight was over something that involved the food. a woman wouldn't move her seat forward so that another lady could eat.. and so the woman who couldn't eat kept pushing the ladies seat forward. it was stupid and childish.
