Out in Lalapaşa, the clock slows to a crawl — the fields run wide, the villages stay small, and noise is basically a foreign concept. Being this close to the border brings an isolation that's part eerie, part strangely peaceful. Instead of making a plan, wandering the back roads without a destination, or just parking yourself under a tree and doing nothing, counts as a perfectly good option. Don't overthink it — roll the dice and trust whichever village road comes up.
