The Black Sea

We made it! It's a little cooler here but it's still hot! I can't believe this country does not believe in ice. They think drinking cold things will make you sick.

I have been from the west coast to the east now. It amazes me just how poor the villages are. I have seen so many buildings with missing windows, roofs falling in and clothes hanging on the lines. There are so many things I would like to take pictures of but I don't want to offend anyone either. The fields are full of sunflowers and wheat. They are harvesting the wheat now. There were a few small fields of corn but, corn is for the animals. I saw herds of sheep, goats, and a couple herds of cows. So far the country looks a lot like Wisconsin.

I have had a lot of time to watch people. Men shave their body hair and carry man purses. Women think beauty is looking like a hooker from the 80's. I might have to find a load of those man purses for all the men on my shopping list!

It's been kind of nice with the role reversal! Since I can't speak the language I just put Megan in control of everything, I'm just along for the ride. It's been fun to beg like a little kid for ice-cream and trinkets!

I won't be able to put any new pictures on until we get back to Megan's house.

I wonder what we will have for dinner tonight? If I had to live here I would become a vegetarian. I've tried a lot of new things. I'm not a fan of the Bulgarian yogurt or meat. I think I could eat their tomato cucumber onion salad for every meal! I don't care for their white cheese they cover it with so now I get it without.

Now that we have cooled off a bit it's time for a wander around town.
