...like that burrito you eat for lunch and returns at midnight.
I went to Bulgaria for 2 wks. Yeah, not your average person's idea of a vacation, but it was good. After traveling for 26 hours on 3 1/2 hrs of sleep, I arrived home at 2 am today. Wow, am I glad to have a real shower and nice bed! And have a chance to get over the 500 bug bites I got from sleeping in one particular bed.
I had a minor reaction to being away from the computer for that long. I was able to get over it by shoving fresh cherries into my mouth constantly. Mmmm, nothing like cherries you pick from the tree, check for bugs, then stuff in your mouth. Except maybe the fresh raspberries or mulberries or janka (I have no idea what that is in English).
Too many threads to try to catch up. Welcome to Mr. Hic (sorry, that whole Xanax name confuses me), NRA (hey! I applied for a gun license today--as long as my criminal record doesn't show up, I'll be a member of the "have gun, will shoot" folks), and Cowboy (he scares me! Why does he keep swinging that rope around me???? ).

Beef, good to have you back. Where you over there checking out the hunky LDS Bulgarian bulls?

Ok, maybe 500 is exaggerating. But I counted over 15 bites on my right leg alone. So I estimate that I have between 45-50 bites on my body. They are getting better--except where I scratched too much and have a scab.
Bulgarian bulls? Sure! But, that is in a literal sense. Many of the people there raise their own meat, so my family has an abundance of chickens, pigs, sheep, and some cows.
I have to share a couple of funny things I saw. First, at the Black Sea, there are several touristy type of places (including tons of stores). At one that sold bikinis exclusively, the sign showed the sizes they carried: S-XXXXXXXL. Umm, if you have to have an "X" before the size, then you shouldn't be wearing a bikini!
The other one was written in English and it said, "We're sorry. We're open." It would have been funnier if it was for a restaurant, but it was for a souvenier shop.
