RILA

There is a mountain range in Bulgaria called 'RILA.' I'd been wanting to visit it, along with the Rila Monastery, since I came to Bulgaria. This summer, I finally got the chance. I don't like carrying stuff so what you see me wearing in this photo is all that I brought. Luckily, I borrowed a sweatshirt from someone; it got cold at night. My friends and I woke up at 6 in the morning and hiked up to the Seven Lakes. The lake that I'm standing in front of is called 'Kidney.' We were the first ones there, had the whole place to ourselves. I worked out the kinks from a crummy sleep, worked up a sweat and then got to lay on a rock and enjoy the moment. If you get the chance, visit Rila. She is gorgeous!
