I went to Rila monestary today. It was absolutely beautiful in the middle of the mountains. I've never been to a monestary before. I saw my first ever painted image of god on a church. They never paint god. Weird Eastern Orthodox Bulgarians. I hiked around the mountain a bit too- nothing too spectacular. Beautiful forests and a waterfall that I failed to photograph. It was nice to be somewhere so tranquil and meditative. Whatever you think about religion, that kind of intense meditation and serenity has value, even if you don't agree with its motivations.
A drunk Bulgarian fell off the hostel wall onto his face and smashed his nose really badly. They called an ambulance and everything. Very exciting. now there is a huge bloodstain in the garden below. Ouch. There have been three private bulgarian parties in the last week, two b-day parties and a concert. I've talked to a lot of drunken bulgarians. Its very nice.

thought about you the other day. when on the radio, they played fifteen different renditions of 'in the pines'. hot in the city. lucky you to be traipsing in monestaries!
Girl, you have no idea how much I miss you. When will I see you? Can we meet in the middle?
