Today was Wednesday,
the 8th, after arriving in Bistritsa, (Which is a suburb of Sofia,
Bulgaria) two days ago we decided to take a hike. If you have just
dashed to google maps to see where Bistritsa
is, you might know that there are mountains on three sides. We
climbed one, following a gravel path we hit an intersection, we
turned right. Soon we saw another, we went straight, on the third one
we turned left.
At a fourth intersection we
moved forward up a hill. As we did, the nice gravel roads turned
grassy, flowers stuck up in every direction, plants surrounded the
infrequently used path. As we continued, there were grasshoppers,
spiders, butterflies, and snails, all fascinating. It rains snails
here!
Soon enough we pulled out the phone, which had the map,
and saw that we were off the trail but when we found the trail it was
full of weeds and the former trail could not be seen. Walking back
through thorny plants was unpleasant, but we were capable of making
it back. Then we walked on a different trail. The breeze was blowing
calmly and there were flowers on the trail when we stopped for a
previously made lunch at a picnic table.
Then we headed home from this enjoyable hike.
Sometimes the paths we make ourselves are the best ones.
