Dan just called me to report that the rental agreement I altered did not pass muster with two different notaries. Not only must we have the rental agreement re-typed, our landlady must provide proof that she owns the apartment. Now this last step seems like it should have nothing to do with our Visas, but that is the latest demand that we must meet. So, our landlady must start her own bureaucratic nightmare to obtain a new certificate to prove she owns the property because the certificate must be less than 6 months old. Why does where we live or how the property is owned make any difference to the Macedonian government or to our pursuit for a Visa?
On a much lighter note, this morning my IWA friends and I had another Monday Hike. We went again to Matka Canyon and found the trailhead for the easier trail up to the Church of St. Nilola.
The fastest way to the trailhead is across a small bridge over the kayak course and along some narrow concrete dams built in the River Treska. That was an adventure in itself.
On the other side of the River Treska, we met a very sweet little dog who hiked to the top and back with us and then just went back to where she lives in the forest.

The air was a little steamy from yesterday's heavy rain, but the trail was mostly shaded on the way up the mountain. We had a picnic in this small covered terrace with a fabulous view of St. Andrea and the restaurant at Lake Matka.
This little dog was so nice. Corby, Celia's dog, led the group, and this little female brought up the rear.
