Acts of Love and a Bear Made of Trash

by

I unzipped the opening of our tent and let the morning sun flood inside. We both peered outside and marveled at the mountain peaks guarding us like giant rock sentinels. Our previous day’s efforts, of riding the challenging 5.3 miles (8.5 kms) military road, had paid off with one of the best wild campsites we’ve ever experienced in Europe!

Chantil and I love road-side attractions and an entire village painted Smurf blue definitely counts, in our view, as something to see and expereince.
