Today was a fun day for both of us. Susan took off to find her - TopicsExpress



          

Today was a fun day for both of us. Susan took off to find her mountain trail, and did just that. She came back to the apartment with several stories to share. We may have to return here in early Spring so she an do some trail walking. I used the public transit system this morning to go to where I was told to go to get our bus tickets for our Wednesday departure for Skopje, Macedonia. But, what was supposed to be a major bus depot turns out to be a multi-story hospital. After several requests of people walking the streets if they spoke any English, I found one who would help me with my dilemma: Where is the bus station for international departures? The short version of the story is I needed to either walk for an hour, or take a taxi. I opted for the taxi. The person helping me, walked me over to a taxi, told the driver where I needed to go, got a quote of under 5 lev for the ride, and I hoped in the taxi for the ride. That comes to about $3.85. So, was dropped off at the bus terminal, bought the tickets to Skopje, but I couldnt figure out where I was because I goofed and turned my tablet off - thereby turning off the gps on the tablet. Now, here is just one more example of choosing to go with the flow, instead of worrying that something is wrong, or wont work out. I came upon a city bus loading spot, which happened to have a map of the bus routes on a city map. One of the three bus lines which run right next to our apartment (11 line), happens to stop right there in front of the bus station - 5.6km away from our apartment. So, instead of not knowing where I was, I didnt care because in 8 minutes a trolley (11) was going to stop, let me get on, and take me to the stop in front of our apartment - which it did! Also, when we go to leave here for the bus station on Wednesday, we just have to cross the street, hop on the number 11 trolley, and 32 minutes later, we will be in front of the bus terminal. Oh, the stress! Oh, the stress!
