OK OK where to start? Let's see, we last updated heading to Athens...which was, to say the least, nice (Yea, to say the least). Athens, we couchsurfed with this guy, Nico, who had a one bedroom apartment a short metro ride from the Acropolis. Paula and I stayed with him, and 3 hippies, who, as we, were enjoying Nico's hospitality. We spent little time in the apartment but what we did, was crowded. Paula and I were given Nico's waterbed, while the four of them slept out in the living room, where it got a bit noisy and, to say the least, stinky (yea, to say the least). Night one passed with little to report but night number two, Paula and I were out in Athens having a blast with Barb's unmet collegue, Theressia, and didn't make our way back until midnight. Come the dozen strikings of the bell, we were ready to dream the dreams of sailors. Nico wanted to talk. The three of us camped out on his bed until 2, whereupon we fell asleep and woke in the morning for our train only to find that we had passed the night with Nico, who was adorned in naught but his undergarments.
Ok, so we jump on a train to Sofia, Bulgaria. It was, to the the most, OK (yea to say the most). The couchsurfers we met made the experience better, and it was our first encounter with snow, which the sky provided in plethora.
Sofia, peace out, hello Brasov, Romania, where we currently sit. We've just spent the day gaurding our necks in Transilvania and strolling the grounds of Chateu Dracul. (Count Dracula's castle). Seriously? Yea, seriously. We saw Dracula's castle.
Don't worry, we're staying warm, it's currently 4 degrees. So, thanks dad for the jacket (which has got Jay's name on it you thief) and thanks Donna for keeping my Paula warm (my arms can only do so much).
Hope the McSig family has a great time at Omnium and don't forget about us ok? Love to everyone back home.
Pat and Paula

oh my darlings! When you talk about Athens I wanted to think about souvlaki and gyros and good smells like that but can only imagine a pile of 3 hippies and if they were boy hippies I know they smell like squirrels-ew. and if they were girl hippies then patchouli oil infused the room.also ew. Magz and Sierra coming over for a walk downtown to get burritos for Magz b-day. Pedro and Sara and baby Guadalupe on the early morning train bound for glory- I mean San Diego.Us driving and being "Pat and Paula" by hauling baby accoutrements for them. Will think of you a lot at OG and dream of seeing you in December. SENDING OH SO MUCH LOVE your mom
