Sofia
May 13, 1993
A nice city. I get taken for $25 by a scam artist changing money in the main square, but I'm not surprised. He was acting very dodgy so I changed only a quarter of the amount I originally intended to. Watching him in action was worth the expense. I'm more concerned about my thoat. I'm coming down with a viral infection, like the kind I used to get as kid that would block off my whole airway with hard sticky mucus. I later discover that I'm allergic to some cold viruses and I still suffer from these infections periodically today. I stay in my hotel room for two days and wait it out because the medications I had to help open up my airway were among the things stolen in Rostov.
