Bucharest and Belgrade
Just to let everyone know, I did make it to Europe. After a long flight to London and a long layover at Heathrow, and then a flight to Bucharest, I got there at 11:40 PM and spent the night a a hotel there. The next day I hung out and read my book in a park near my hotel until I finally had to leave because I was attracting too much attention. It's is extrodinarily hard to read when people keep coming up an wanting to talk to you because they can tell you're foreign. Usually I am pretty good at blending in, but apparently not in Bucharest. And it's not that I don't want to talk to people, but I was super tired and not in the mood to be hit on. So, I went backto the hotel and read in the lobby there until it was time to take a taxi to the train station. I took an overnight train to Belgrade and arrived at 10:00 AM to be met by Crystal. We will be here a few days and then will drive up to Budapest to meet her friend Danielle at the airport. Then we will do a brief stopover in Osijek on the way back to Belgrade. Crystal and I are on the way to visit the museum in Belgrade, so I have to go. Ciao!
