BG People, Dear Readers...

I would like to start by pointing out that my title is inspired by a great film called "Wizard People, Dear Readers" that spoofs Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Rather, it uses the original film's imagery with crazy new audio that retells the story. My favorite part: Hagrid is always referred to Hagar the Horrible.

If this sounds exciting to you, then invite Nathan and I over for movie night and we'll bring it to your house. Then we'll eat American popcorn and laugh for a few hours. It'll be fun--I promise.

Now, dear readers, what did I do for you today? If you guessed "climbed up a mountain with Morgan to take really fun pictures for us" then you are CORRECT!

So without further ado....on to the pictures!
Our journey begins with me apologizing for Mr. Sick for abandoning him and leaving him all alone. He understood and, in all reality, all he's doing these days is sleeping.
Very quickly in our journey we stumble upon a horse and buggy. It isn't hard to stumble upon them--they are everywhere and operate like taxis. I'd like to ride on one, but I don't think you are supposed to unless you are a Gypsy. Oh well.
Then we find a Coke machine where Coca-Cola is written in Cyrillic (bottom corner). How exciting!
Interestingly enough, it was located on the porch of the Arabica Coffee store. Oh, and that is Morgan taking a picture.
So the whole time we're walking, we are next to this giant concrete wall that we can't see over. After about 10 minutes of walking uphill and seeing nothing but a wall, we consider giving up on our adventure. Thank goodness we didn't though because about 15 minutes later we get this view:
Awesome. Now, you might think, as we did, that this is as good as it gets. Well, we made a left turn here which spat us out into a residential area. However, once we made a left, the street get going up (even steeper than before). So, of course, we follow it and at the top of that mountain we see:

Wow. Even cooler. What was even better was that this vantage point let us be voyeurs and look into people's yards. Notice the house in the lower right corner where the roof is covered in blankets to cover the holes in it? At that house, we watched a mother teaching her daughter how to belly dance.

Needless to say, after all this we were a bit thirsty. What better to refresh yourself with than a slightly-cooler-than-room-temperature Mirinda?
After that refreshment, we stopped by the market (for lettuce and clementines),
the main shopping street (for candy),
and the Super (C-Y-Pi-E-Rho) Market for bread.

Also of note on our journey: this East German car which is made of CARDBOARD, can be carried by an average adult and was, apparently, all the rage back in the day.
Just think about that at some point today--a cardboard car that you can carry if you have to. Whoa.
