I got my Bulgarian Type D--Long Stay Visa today! Phew. I can cross that off my to do list.  It's nice to have the visa.  First, it means that I can say past next Sunday which was going to be the date that my 90 days as a tourist expired and second, it means that after I apply for my lichna karta I don't have to worry about my status in country for at least a year. Super.

I made to and from Thessaloniki in two days. Just barely. I thought I'd missed my bus this afternoon (or gone to the wrong station).  I waited in a parking lot for over 90 minutes for my bus.  In a sort of gray parking lot.  But I got to see lots of people coming and going from the bus station. I also got to tell plenty of people that I don't speak Greek.  The whole time I couldn't stop thinking about this phrase: it's all Greek to me.  Luckily my bus came and I got home tonight just a few hours later than I thought I was going to.

Any how, I am back now! Hello, Sofia!
