the midnight express

semi-overcast 28 °C

11pm

First we tried to get a taxi.One was 15 leva.
Another one we thought was 10 leva but it was actually 30 leva but we did not know that at the time.So half we there we asked the price again. We only had 17 leva.I had some leva but Cheryl shushed me because he didn't deserve it. I called myself the secret weapon.Then we got on the train.We were in first class and got to pull our seats down. I saw a dome outside.The brakes of the train were bad.I can't explain it. The bumpy tracks rock you to sleep but the squeaks wake you up again.

3am

I woke up again. I'm now going back to sleep zzzzzzzzzz. I'm still up. My leg was in Bulgaria and my body was in Romania. My hair was everywhere up and down and all around.

Sincerely,

My day in Veliko Turnovo

semi-overcast 30 °C

At 11:00 I got up and had a capuccino. It was o.k. Then I got a dolphin carved in wood. I also got a bull carved in wood. Then we got a taxi and it drove us to a cafe. It's capuccinos were GREAT! Then I went horseback riding. They were English style horses. People were watching as I trotted around.

Then we were going to see the light show but it wasn't there. I saw it lastnight from a far distance. The colors were red, white, blue and green. I also got a Syrian backgammon game. I also saw a cannon, it shot rose petals. The people wore bells around their waists. They all went into a pond. They also had dolls on top of their hats. I got a LOLLYPOP too!

Talk you to later.

Sincerely Yours,

The Train Ride

Writing all day

semi-overcast -26 °C

I went to some springs and saw a cat. It got wet and all the hairs were stuck together. It was very small and very cute. We took pictures and then I went shopping. I bought my mom a Harry Potter book in Cyrillic. I went to the train station and ate some food.

Then I got on the train and saw some mountains and a cliff. At the cliff there was a house. I was wondering... how do you get there? There were caves and a town. There were red and white rocks on the cliff. Then we went into a tunnel. It was dark and loud and long. I had to close my ears. Then they hurt. When the train stopped, it squeaked. I saw a tower with spikes. I also saw a rock with a mohawk. My eyes would blur if I looked at the grass. The windows and doors would open and close as we rode by. We saw a ghost town with collapsed buildings. I saw a river, it was very diry. I met this man and this woman. They helped us with Cyrillic. We had such a FUN time. I saw three donkeys that were eating grass. I saw an F carved into the train. I saw a lady with shopping bags. I saw a graveyard. I saw a horse and cart. I saw what looked like a ski lift carrying buckets of stuff. I smelled stuffiness and smelliness in the train. But outside, smelled clear and crisp. I saw a field of sunflowers, they were all facing East. I saw another lady on the train, she did not speak English. I saw 50 goats walking down the streets with a shepheard boy, the goats went "Baa, Baa".

Until next time.

Sincerely Yours,

In Bulgaria

Finally here

sunny 29 °C

I missed my flight the first time and I almost missed it the second time. When I went to Rome we were able to go out of the airport. I arrived in Bulgaria at 11:00 p.m. The hotel I stayed in had a comfortable bed. The next place I'm staying is in Velinko Turnovo. We are staying by a canyon.

Talk to you later.

Sincerely,

Sofiabgirl
