Eastern Europe, ooh yeah!

"No more chard for you drunky!", is the quote for the day...and a half? We just arrived at our hostel after countless hours on planes, confined to small teeny tiny spaces, next to lady who drank too much chardonay and was escorted by two stewards back to her seat because she somehow became lost the several times she got up to visit the loo. Funny. It is now that my naps are not interrupted by her staggers in and out and I've had enough time not sleeping for the delirium to properly kick in. Nice!
Sooo... We are here! Very excited for a necessary shower and some food. Yummy. Not too much to write about just yet but definitely giving pats on the back to Jennie and I for getting us here safe, sound, and with little or no side adventures. Plus, I only got in trouble once for having a sachel in addition to my backpack and duffel, which apparently counted as a "third bag", wherein I was told that it "needed" to be in my backpack as ONLY two bags were permitted... This action actually merited the security woman noting my ticket to have this "looked into" wherever else I has my ticket looked at, including boarding the plane, in the case that I removed it from my backpack which was definitely "against the rules." Note taken.
Please excuse any spelling errors as I have not slept in close to...a long time. We'll just leave it at that.
Some fun facts and info for the day:
