It's Fucking Snowing!

The bad news is, there's no stupid USB port on this stupid ancient computer. The good news is...I'm on it for free so I should just get over myself. But I wish you all could see the view I'm viewing from the window next to me. All nestled into a mountain side I'm sitting here in a toasty warm hostel in Brasov, Romania where all the young'uns are thankfully passed out, unknowing how truly awful their hangovers are going to be when they must wake up in a couple hours. So it's quiet. I have my tea, and I'm watching the snow fall gently onto these gajillion year old houses...and into the back patio silently filling up the empty midget pool. Don't worry...I know how shitty my descriptive skills are. I'm taking pictures.

The hostel as organized transport for us to go see Bran AND Peles castles today. Normally we'd be all "thanks but no thanks", but it's Sunday and all the museums are closed Mondays so we have to try and pack it in. Poor Kansas is going to have to try to pry one of the cameras loose from my over-excited death grips. He's doing well, by the way. No severe blow ups or even bad spats. He's out right now trying to track down some normal coffee. I think he will fail. In either event...I can't wipe the smile off of my face. This place is incredible in the winter...and it's going to be hard to leave. So I'm not going to for at least the next week.

Maybe if I pay for internet at some point tomorrow, I can upload some pictures. Until then, you'll just have to sit at your desks, staring at your monitors in anticipation. I'm going to go stare out the window til it's time to leave. Jealous? You should be.
