A warm winter's day

I took the day off today from worrying. Actually I took yesterday off too...today was just an extension of that. This project with the dancers is getting more and more stressful. Don't get me wrong...things are moving along quite nicely. It's just that I feel like I put more on my plate than I can possibly handle. But with the help of my rents and other folks back home (as well as my pal Jon - former PCV) things are starting to pull together. It just makes it a little more difficult to try and organize things when I'm here...and everyone else is there. But I said that I was taking the day off from worrying...so I'll stick with that.

I hopped a bus over to Berkovitsa today to go on a little hike with Mr. Brooke. We ended up hiking for about 3 hours up into the Balkan Mountains. It was a gorgeous walk/hike...albeit a bit muddy. And the weather today was fantastic!!! This has been an unseasonably warm winter and today it was about 50 degrees! We didn't even need our jackets for the hike. And after our hike we settled down to a lovely meal of steamed veggies, Mexican Rice (courtesy of Lipton's rice mix), and a home-made Apple Pie for dessert (made by Mr. Brooke himself)!!! Top the day off with an episode of Grey's Anatomy and I can't think of a more perfect winter's day!
