I'm Beat

Traveling takes it out of you...

I'm straight up exhausted. Hopefully I can formulate and express a cognitive thought or two in this blog.

After a layover in Munich or Munchen as it's meant to be called, Mike and I have arrived in Sliven. Scenery wise, Bulgaria is gorgeous. It reminds me of Northern California with a mix of Montana or South Dakota or something. Here's a few pics of our drive from Sofia, the capital, to Sliven.
Closer to Sliven there were vineyards all over the place. Apparently wine is huge over here.

The hotel is definitely nice. There's no construction going on outside our rooms as there was in Poland, and we don't have to jack internet from a neighboring hotel. Seems like a decent place to call home for the next ? days.

Check it out, I have two toilets!!!

Not only that, but our elevator is sweet. Reminds me of Charley and the Chocolate Factory or something.
As I said, the hotel is nice, as for the rest of the town..... wellllll.... That's still up in the air. Here's a view from one of my hotel windows.

Yea, sweet.

There appears to be some nice parts of town, but as seen above, there's some areas that aren't exactly touristy hot spots. I'll be able to see more later in the week.

I'll leave you with this glorious pic

Good day from the Bulg, I'm off to bed. The fun begins nice and early tomorrow morning. Just hope the jet lag isn't too bad.

And I quote from the movie "The Whoopee Boys":

(guy leaving bathroom) "Excuse me, why are there two toilets?"

(person in line) "It's a bidet, you asshole"

(guy leaving bathroom) "Oh"

(next guy in bathroom) "Jesus, somebody took a shit in the bidet"
