Day 54 - Kazanluk (Live From Shipka)

Since the beginning of the trip, we've been recording one minute videos at the end of each day - as a sort of video diary. However, after playing back a few of these clips, we started noticing some consistencies, in the form of 'The Googly Eye' and 'Mr. Sleepburg McGee.'

First things first, what's a 'Googly Eye' you ask? Well, Chris has an eye condition called, 'Amblyopia.' In short, one eye stays focused in one direction, while the other one - 'The Googly' - pretty much does what it wants. She had a couple operations when she was little to realign it, but often times, when she's tired, it revolts and floats off into the distance. "Hello? The camera lens is over here!"

Secondly, for those that know him, Matt can pretty much fall asleep anytime, anywhere, especially if he's left alone with nothing to do, i.e. waiting for Chris to get out of the bathroom so they can do their daily video before going to bed. It's either twiddle his thumbs for 30 minutes or fall asleep. He typically chooses the latter.

So, with natural causes against us, we've made an executive decision to start taping our daily videos the day after - when we're fed, awake and partaking in some sort of activity. It serves as a kind of foreshadowing for the next day's recap. 

Here's one we did to explain the happenings of DAY 54 in Kazanluk, BULGARIA (saw Thracian tomb copy) - while we were walking to a 5th - 4th century BC Thracian tomb in Shipka (just outside Kazanluk) on Day 55.
