A drive through the most picturesque mountains to get to the cable car.

My First cable lift. Loved it. When it went on and on and on, I felt like it was never going to end…. geez.

The beautiful lakes of Rila. Absolutely breathtaking! 

An overambitious hike in the wrong kind of shoes. So many lessons and leisions from a singe 5 hour walk through the mountains. But the photos … OMG!

Helping two Belgians make the right trekking choices. It was getting dark, a little drizzle made the path treacherous. So glad we could convince the couple not to take the risk. 

Finishing the hike. Despite the looks. Despite the wrong attire. Despite the numerous stops for photos.

Cleavage to indicate the womens’s bathroom. A bowtie for the men…. I don’t fit into either box.

A chatty receptionist, helpful and a sight for sore eyes. I really like people who dress up on a regular basis.

A quiet town with much promise.

Tired feet. Happy heart.
