All-in-all, a totally unsatisfactory situation, one of much pain and suffering for Jen and dare I say, a big drain on myself. Nevertheless, I truly believe it brought some comfort to Jen knowing that I was out for a while and good for both my body and I suppose, aspects of my mind. Anyway, that's what she said most kindly. I'll need to do some thinking of the latter although this could place further strain upon my limited mind.
In addition, I found that the occasions in the forest provided a comfort and tranquility that moved me into different spaces, obviously of a physical nature, but also, a mental one...a different realm, quite remarkable.
After a mile incline, one reaches a dam and enjoys the tranquility...it sets the mood and tone for the day.
Reaching a position overlooking the forests, allows one to gain perspective of the valley, inter alia.
Reaching a viewpoint after arriving at the top of the mountain at Snezhanka Tower; one walks down further to gain a view of the Pirin Range. The high mountains in the distance are Mounts Vihren and Kutelo, two we have reached several times...that's not considered a boast...well, maybe close.

Hiking should not be without some feminine companionship, especially when one's beloved is on the 'injury list'. I say: "Relax and let it all hang out."
Another highpoint on the other side of the hike is Orpheus Rocks. Climbing on these rocks can be a little tricky but the views are awfully colorful.
A rare occasion when the sky was visible both by looking up and down.
From Orpheus Rocks, a view to the mountains across the way.
Another colorful view at ground level.
And a different view of something similar shown earlier, from part way up. One ought to be careful not to drop a pin in the forest; it might be difficult to trace.
Getting close when the view of Snezhanka Tower appears through the trees.
Oh! That is the tower reflecting somewhat lower down...some 900 feet lower.
No impediments blocking the proud tower with the sky appearing to show off for a change.
Cheers,
