Last weekend, Stacie and I went on a hike in the Rila mountains. The view was amazing!!! We started at about 5000m above sea level, and hiked up to almost 9000m. When we got to the destination, we were on one of the tallest peaks in the Balkan mountains! I have posted pics, but still need to add captions. On the way up, it took about 7 hours, and on the way back it took about 4.5. But I have to say that it was the most difficult and beautiful hike I have ever done! Pretty awesome! There is a wiki page about them too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Rila_Lakes). I think our pics are much cooler because it was a little cloudy at times which made it look like we were floating above everything! We also got to watch a big cloud come in and it was sooooo neat to watch.
After the hike we were pretty tired and sore and it took a few days to recover! But it sure was worth it!
