My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Strange dreams

So, I took a nap this afternoon, and I dreamt I met the guys from Car Talk. How I came to dream of this is a mystery, though I remember being all gush-y and sycophantic. I seem to remember they were staying in the same place as them, and I was beside myself because I was able to hang out with them.

Now, I adore Car Talk, but I don't know if this would really be my reaction if I got to meet the guys.

Still, it was a memorable dream.

And to answering inquiring minds, I did make it out of Varna yesterday. I'm now in Plovdiv, which is maybe the 4-5th largest city in Bulgaria. What I've seen is really lovely and interesting. Though, my guidebook doesn't have a map for this city, and the hostel doesn't have tourist maps (???!!!), so I didn't do much walking today. Simply, I had no idea which way to walk to see anything of interest. Experience with London shows that if you don't know where you're going, you have a good chance of seeing things you would prefer to miss. Granted, Plovdiv is a lot smaller -- but if I get lost, I need to be someplace I can at least find a taxi...

Someone in my dorm room has given me their map, since they are leaving tomorrow morning, so I will be out and about rather early (that is, before noon) tomorrow.
