smelly guy, flies, cold showers, and clock towers

well, we are here and we are well.

... there are lots of flies in our room, an extremely smelly guy in the bed next to us (have to hide my nose under the sheet to sleep), my first shower since i was home was very cold, and at 10:20am this clock on the church next to us rang for five minutes straight. seriously, five minutes. aside the fact it rings every hour and it is right out our window. hahaha.

but really, everything is well. we made some pasta with basil tomato sauce and sauteed some mushrooms for dinner. ate it with bread and dinner cost the both of us 6 euros total... it was super delicious and budget-friendly! heh. anyway... if you are checking up on haiks blog (www.haikavanian.com/42days) you will see some confusing pictures. the first is some random meat truck but the second is from our visit to the catacombs. it was crazy. there were so many femurs and skulls and bones carefully piled up, some in the shape of a cross or a heart. look it up online to learn more. it was crazy though. you could touch them and they went on forever. the whole walk-through took 45 minutes. it felt weird at first to walk into a hallway-esqe think with all these bones. started thinking about how many people were there and how much time youd have to take to stack them up like that, and why would you, and where were the rest of the bones?

were not too jet-lagged and slept well last nite. however, after traveling all day and nite on the planes we arrived at the hostel at noon. the hostel has a lock out noon-4pm. therefore, we werent allowed in our room and had to kill four hours before we could even go lie down. that sucked, but we are rested now. we are thinking of adding one more stop in our trip, just not sure where!

okay, gotta go. take care, love you all. :-)
