Macedonian Update #11

We jumped into the taxi and drove 200 kilometers and about three hours, which was extremely impressive. We got to the airport way early and had lots of time to observe all of the Bulgarian teenagers who were headed to the Dells for summer work. It was pretty crazy. Sofia has a very impressive airport, and in my opinion, is much nicer than Milan’s. There was a quick ajvar scare, though, which almost lead to me having to throw out my ajvar. I probably would have sobbed the entire plane ride from Sofia back to the states if that had happened. Apparently, ajvar is considered a dangerous substance that can’t be trusted or brought onto a plane because of its liquid-like form. So, when I tried to bring my carry-on through the security check, they found it and told me I’d have to check it in. So, much to Robb’s displeasure, we had to go back down to the check in line and wait in line with all the future Wisconsin Dells employees to check in my bag and save the ajvar. Save the ajvar, save the world. Due to some slight cutting, I was able to check it in pretty quickly, even though we had the most unpleasant airline assistant “helping” us, and we were able to make it to our terminal with plenty of time. I saw a beautiful sunrise over the mountains, which was a perfect ending to an amazing trip.
