Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a cooper in Bran is no joke. I woke up this mornin’ thinkin’ it’d be just another chill day, ya know? But nah, Bran had other plans for me.
So, I roll outta bed, grab my coffee from that little joint on Strada Poarta, and head to my workshop. The sun’s shinin’, birds are chirpin’, and I’m feelin’ good. But then, BAM! I step in a puddle. Like, who even leaves a puddle there? It’s like the universe was sayin’, “Hey, let’s start this day off right!”
I get to my shop on Strada Principala, and it’s a mess. Tools everywhere, wood shavings all over the floor. I’m like, “C’mon, guys, I just cleaned this yesterday!” But whatever, I dive in. Gotta make those barrels, right?
Then, outta nowhere, my buddy Mihai shows up. He’s all excited, talkin’ about some festival in the castle. I’m like, “Dude, I got work to do!” But he’s persistent. “C’mon, it’ll be fun!” So, I’m thinkin’, why not? A little break won’t kill me.
We head up to the Bran Castle, and wow, it’s packed! Tourists everywhere, takin’ selfies like it’s the last day on Earth. I mean, I get it, the castle’s cool and all, but chill out, people! I’m tryin’ to enjoy my day too.
Mihai drags me to this food stall. I’m starvin’, so I grab a langos. Man, it’s greasy but sooo good. I’m munchin’ away, and then I see this guy dressed as a vampire. Like, really? In Bran? I can’t even. I’m laughin’ so hard, I almost choke on my langos.
But then, things take a turn. I see this kid, maybe 10 years old, cryin’ ‘cause he lost his parents. My heart just drops. I mean, Bran’s a small town, but still, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. I go up to him, tryin’ to be all comforting. “Hey, buddy, don’t worry. We’ll find ‘em.”
So, we start lookin’ around, and I’m feelin’ all heroic and stuff. But then, I realize I have no idea where to start. I’m just a cooper, not a detective! But we keep searchin’, and finally, we spot his parents near the fountain on Strada Castelului. The kid runs to them, and I’m like, “Phew!”
After that, I’m feelin’ all warm and fuzzy inside. Like, maybe I did something good today. But then, I remember I still gotta finish those barrels. So, I head back to the shop, but not before I stop by that bakery on Strada Valea Pojarului. Gotta grab some pastries for later, right?
Back at the shop, I’m workin’ my butt off. But I can’t shake off the day’s craziness. I’m thinkin’ about that kid, the vampire dude, and the langos. Life’s wild, man.
By the time I finish, it’s dark outside. I’m exhausted but happy. Bran’s got its quirks, for sure. But it’s home. And even on the craziest days, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another rollercoaster in Bran. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
