The moon tonight is incredible! Technically, yest The moon tonight is incredible!  Technically, yesterday was the full moon, but wow!  Seeing this pop through the dark skies after a huge storm, too bright to really look at directly, is unreal.  My iPhone does lighten the picture a bit, so it’s not quite blue skies and almost looking like daytime here at 1am, but it’s still really bright.  A neat goodbye after working on packing tonight to enjoy our last full day here tomorrow. ♥️ 😢 🇮🇹 (Friday we’ll drive the car to Milan to drop it off, and then take the train to Paris… the necessary incentive I need to get me to leave the Dolomites.) #Selva #Buonanotte #Dolomiti #italia #prego

Today (June 22) we did a short afternoon adventure Today (June 22) we did a short afternoon adventure from where we are staying in Rimini, Italy on the Adriatic, to the fifth-smallest country in the world: The Republic of San Marino.  It was our last “new” country for this trip and the kids 29th country total (we have 32 from travels before kids). Claimed to be founded in AD 301 it is the oldest sovereign state and oldest constitutional republic. After the U.S. Civil War, their government made Abraham Lincoln an honorary citizen recognizing Lincoln’s leadership and the importance of the republic in maintaining a secure and enduring government.  The roads were a bit steep at times, but nothing we haven’t done before, and it was a charming area.  We even got our passports stamped (you have to go to do this at the information center as there’s no real/significant border crossing.

Enjoyed some really neat storm cloud patterns as w Enjoyed some really neat storm cloud patterns as we drove out of #Romania yesterday afternoon… until our route started heading directly into them.  As #Louisianians we can attest that that was some serious rain, and got a little scary for a bit.  At some point we took a break at a rest area and got one of those guardian-angel-type things for the dashboard of our French car, and he helped clear our way into #Hungary and #Szeged #mbappé
So, we’d heard there were a lot of #bears in #Roma So, we’d heard there were a lot of #bears in #Romania and especially #Transylvania and I’d even seen on social media that a driver was attacked by one (I believe while to believe) a bear!! All the phones in the restaurant started going off with alert alarms (which luckily we’d become familiar with during some rough weather yesterday) that there was a bear in the same small town we were in (the second half is in English). Of course we did have to eat lunch first, but we definitely drove over to the area after to see if we could spot the bear anywhere.  It’s a woody area behind the houses and so the bear was gone; which we expected when a Romanian woman came over to us after the alarms and told us not to worry about seeing the bear. We assume that’s what she said, she spoke no English and we can now toast in Romanian (and think we know the word for bear now!) but that’s it.  Anyhow, it turns out the advertising of the local beer brand outside our window was the best bear spotting we would get, but it was pretty cool to know we were close at one point. (We do have one more day!! 🤞). Oh, at the end if our neighborhood search, we were at the entrance to the castle where “Wednesday”, the modern spin-off from “The Adams Family” is filmed.  I’ll post pics from there at some point too (but I have a lot more than 3 to narrow down.)
So, #driving anywhere can be stressful, and some p So, #driving anywhere can be stressful, and some places are worse than others.  We’ve had a number of new/different experiences this year, but…. While we have certainly seen Italians overtake (pass) in no-passing zones, we have never seen anything as prevalent as it was driving through #Bulgaria today.  We were in 2-lane traffic for a large part of the drive.  Our daughter referenced how many memorials we were seeing along the road and we then started to understand why we saw these caution signs with a black dot on them everywhere!  We also had many times where the traffic had been split by red paint and rubber barricade/posts, which is clearly the ONLY thing that stops the constant and often risky overtaking/passing!  Cars and 18-wheelers alike are apparently in a constant race.  On average, we were usually driving about 55-65 miles per hour and the passing was constant, including where it wasn’t allowed, and even when oncoming traffic was present.  Also, there wasn’t even that much difference in speed.  The craziest truck drivers who’d get past us, were the same ones we had to pass moments later when going uphill! 🤦‍♀️ They even have an “advised” speed limit in these areas that you don’t legally need to follow, but it’s suggested because of how many head-on collisions there are. By the way, you could never go the advised limit bc even at the legal speed limits, we had 18-wheelers inches from our bumper!!! We’ve had different chaos driving on most/all of the past few days, but nothing as constant for hours as this ridiculousness! 🤪 😰
We had not originally realized just how deep the # We had not originally realized just how deep the #history of #Sofia #Bulgaria went until we were here.  With history back more than 7,000 years, it is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in all of #Europe. Thracian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman #heritage can still be seen in parts throughout the city.
