So, After sitting on a plane next to a couple named Ham and Gal, and having our host go MIA and decide not to either pick us up at the airport or exchange ANY contact information. Today has been incredible!
Brandon and I, were daunted from the begining, and I think I got rid of that feeling slightly sooner than him, but he can possibly disagree with that statement later in this post. WE walked around town, At Lamb meet, Tripe soup and Milk salad. Purchased a 2 Liter bottle of beer for 2 leva.... which is like a buck fifty... And to be quite honest I have consumed most of that already playing a game of Grand Poulet ( Big/ Gigantic Chicken) with some English, aussies and French people. So far... This trip has completely blown my mind in its ability to NOT go according to plan. Yet. It is still awesome. I am so confident that This trip will be awesome. I'm hoping to spend approx 30 USD per day.... Today I spent 35... but I also paid for brandons beer and our cab ride... So I think its doable!! Although.. bulgaria is cheap... Anyway I'm rambling now... I love you all... We are safe, Please believe in us.

Ok,
Not going to lie. This was a terrifying start to our journey. In Bulgaria, not many people speak English in Bulgaria (only the younger people), and it is a city with an identity crisis. One street is run down and sketchy while the next is like the NYC Financial District. Really interesting though. I had meat from a lamb's head for dinner. Now we are playing drinking games at the hostel with a Franchman, 4 Brits and an Aussie. a 2 liter bottle of beer is about $1.50 and is sold for less than a small can of Coke. We are about to go out on the town with Josh's friend's best friend.
Way more details to come. I've been keeping a journal with way more, but there is no time for that now.
We will keep you updated!!
Love,
Brandon
