Warsaw to Sofia to Danville in 8 hours

Mindy and I were doing some planning for our trip to Berlin and Krakow last night, and we discovered that the best option for our train trip back to Berlin from Krakow requires a change of trains in Warsaw. We looked into the timetable a bit and found a later connecting train, so we'll be able to spend about 6 hour in Warsaw. That should be enough to at least get a taste of the city.

Then I had a dream last night that I had made similar plans with a layover in Sofia, Bulgaria. A Bulgarian guy who lived in Chicago was guiding me around my dream version of downtown Sofia. It looked like a fine, if generic, place to visit. I don't think I've ever even seen photos of Sofia, though, so don't go based on my dream.

And here's what country I am . . .

You're the United Nations!

Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go.  You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result.  But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.
