Internet cafe with Jo, after failed attempt at cococabana

Today we went on an adventure in Bulgaria. We actually got to see more of the county than just russian mofia and clubs. First we went to Pobriti Komani, a stone forest with magical energy powers. I climbed a really not so tall rock post thing and i did feel the energy. They were formed hella long ago, similarly to stalagmites and stalagtites, ecept possibly in sand millions of years ago. There is also a therory that these rocks were formed under water, and they hella reminded my coworkers of the palace in the little mermaid. This place is about thirty minutes away from Varna. We took a sweet white mercedes van to get there with comfortable seats that reclined.

So after the magical rocks we left to continue our tour and saw mosaics in a mosaic musuem in a third century roman town named after the emperors sister. The mosaics were sweet. They were still partially intact with some color, and the museum was set up in the old house so that you walked through the roman's house and saw them that way. The house was next to an original old roman road that had the ridges from the carriages and the channel for the waste still intact. I walked on this roman road and felt connected to the pagan romans that lived there centuries before.

Then we went to lunch the most random place in the world. It was at a spring that was once considered sacred because a golden goblet that was dropped into the spring magically reappered out of the water and onto the surface, it was considered an act by the Gods. We had lunch while watching a poor monkey struggle with his chain that was attached to an umbrella. This place was unquestionably run by the mafia. It had way too many barn yard animals and wierd decorations, including but not limited to the monkey. The lunch was decent but made better when the monkey started harrassing young children.

After lunch we went to the Maderas unesco heritage site where we saw: an instcription of a horse man/ king on the large rock wall as well as a few different pagan stone fortresses as well as the foundations of a christian bascillca from the late antiquity. I also walked barefoot through another energy field by what was once a sacred large rock that happened to be destryoed by stone workers around the first world war. I was impressed.

I took lots of pictures through out the day but dont have my cord with me so i cant upload them. We had meat for dinner for the first time in quite a while, it was american style with "freedom fries". And then i went to the beach and chilled with the coolest person in the world.

Tomorrow we are going on a boat cruise which we are stoked for! It is on a pirate ship, possibly.

until then, much love
