Bansko by Jessica Barcelos

Day 2 04.08.2010



We left Blagoevgrad at 11h30 and arrive and Bansko about 12h30. When we arrived in the bus station we walked a lot with our heavy backpacks above a hard sun until arrived in the center of the city. Bansko is a small city, there aren`t any bus here just taxi, because the city really is small. After we left our stuff in the room we went explore more the town. We visited the museum Nicola V., where we listened the traditional song in Bansko. Is slowly, and with hard crashes. Rumy told us that the traditional musics in Bansko are this way, because they really passed for strong things then the musics describe their feelings about how everything they lived In Bulgaria.

At 5pm our bus arrived to pick us up and take us to the mountain called Pirin, where we are now. We are living in a Tourism village, with an amazing view around the mountains. When we arrived here they said us that we just have one room with 9 beds. Everybody start to laughing incredible. When we come inside the room was so funny, 9 beds one beside one so funny. And we continue laughing for a long time, because when we try to use the bathroom here we really just could laugh. There is just two bathroom for everybody that is living in this village, one inside the build and another one outside. And really was funny because we couldn`t believe in the conditions of that bathrrom: without a good smell, dirty… I don`t know how describe. But I, Ania, Rumynina and Mauricio were strong to take shower. Now we had dinner and probably will play some games here and tomorrow morning will go to the top of the mountain.

I`m missing my family here a lot. When I don`t feel me comfortable here, I miss the comfortable that I can feel when I`m with them, my friends, my dog and everybody. But I know that this is an unique experience, I have enjoy all the moments .I will miss it after when I came back to my country, I can start to feel it now because I love the people who live with me( maybe because here we are more sensible here). I`m starting to clinging with the people I met here and are living with me this experience. Then when I don`t feel me so fine, I just need to change my toughs and remember it. Sometimes is hard for me, but I know that should be hard for them too.
