I'm back! It was awesome!!!!! I had a great time!
Well, with some exceptions - like the grumbling Grisha & Milen.. hmmmmmm. There was an apple tree just in front of the teracce which prevented them from seeing the mountain opposite the village. So all the time they were making up plans how to cut the tree while Stasi wasn't watching.
In the evening there was a bird singing outside and poor they - couldn't sleep (lol!) so I just tried to imagine that in a moment we could see a dark creepy shadow on the tree with a knife glimmering in the moonlight trying to get rid of the poor bird. Yeah, it's Grisha :-D But he refused doing so - suggested he could be more rational and use a gun...
Today we went to see the Zemen monastery and when we reached the place it turned out that there was a fair (sabor) IN and AROUND the monastery! I couldn't believe my eyes and ears! To sing chalga and eat kebapcheta, and drink beer, and sell some cheap junk clothes and toys around such a holy place...it was very annoyng. I really don't know - probably in the past people also would gather at such places to make fairs and dance traditional music (in fact, today they danced traditional folk music as well). But nevertheless I think it's not normal. I wanted to see the church - Stasi told me that together with the Boyana church it's the oldest Bulgarian churches completely preserved. But I couldn't enter, so many people dancing, and I think it was closed for visitors that day. :( I was thinking - well, if this is not right thing to do, then I shouldn't blame all these people having fun there. Probably average people would think it's OK if the monks from the monastery allow such fairs. And herd instinct says - if other do it, why don;t we join them. Sad story. :(
Nature in this region is very beautiful. It started raining on our way back and it was even more beautiful :-D
Aaand, finally, at about 5 p.m. we were entering Sofia through Vladaya...luckily, no traffic jams - just like on our way to Zemen :-D Aaand, noise again :) And cars. And Liulin :))) Well, Stasi just left us in front of Liulin underground station and left home :) And three of us - me, Milen & Grisha - reached our final destinations - homes - by the nice tram No.20 (wow, I always get headache from this tram).
It was a nice one-day holiday with the "good old" classmates and friends :) Next time will be my turn to host such holiday :-D I promise :)))))
