But I am on vacation

Thursday, August 14, 2025

I did it again. Lost my mind while doing ordinary water tasks. We were sitting at lunch with people and I decided to fill up my glass with water from my bottle of water. I started pouring, and you guessed it, I did not stop. I looked straight over my glass at Russ/Ross, who was talking to me, and overfilled my glass (by a lot). Louise suggested I needed a vacation when I flooded the bathroom. What is my excuse now?????

We rode around Bulgaria on a bus today. There were hills and mountains, there were dancers and musicians, there was good food and there was a puff pastry/Bulgarian yogurt thing that was just so bad. There was a confusing time when there was a photo stop, a possible hike up a HILL, a bus that had to move but was coming back, and I lost Keith. I told him to go out to photo the stop and he thought that meant hike up the hill. Bus came back and he was not with those getting on and I was ready to freak out. I called him, wondering if my phone works in Bulgaria (it does!!), and he was going up the HILL in the HOT.

Those of us not hiking the HILL got dropped off for an hour on the artisan street. It was nice. I walked up and down and peeked in windows. Our guide told us to buy something at a cafe and ask to use their restrooms, because we would have a 2.5 hour ride home. I hate that. I hate that double when I am alone and I can’t make Keith do it. Since it wasn’t a bathroom emergency, I figured I could wait 3-4 hours until we got to the boat. I was walking back down the artisan street when i came across the POTD. These are all people we’ve met (including our new Becky and Sally) who had such little interest in walking up the artisan street hill (not HILL) that they were puddled in the shade. I took their picture and told them they were the picture of the day.

I woke up at 4am – apparently my jet lag is on delay – and I am so tired now, so that’s all for today.
