So, my travels took me to Slowenia and I was on the street, when it started to rain. It was dark, about 8 in the afternoon and I looked for shelter. I came to a home for homeless people and ran inside. As a middle aged woman, about 34 years old, with brown hair my old dark green and gray clothes, I wasn't getting much attention. They probably thought, I was one of them and homeless too. Slowly I got to the counter and took a bowl with some soup. It was yellow with little pieces of vegetables inside. I haven't had eaten dinner yet and my stomach started to make noises already.

Sitting on the floor against the wall, a guy started to talk with me. He had short brown hair, green eyes, a long light brown jacket and a red scarf. He asked me my name, where I was from and how I got here. I told him a little bit about myself and he told me his name was Jack and he was from Croatia. He got homeless when he lost his job, because of bad economy and then his wife left him too. Jack seemed pitiful, but he was a funny guy.

I wished him all the best, when I stood up, after I was finished with my soup. I put the used bowl back to the counter. In the back of the room were sleeping bags, pillow, blankets and old matratze to lay down. My feet hurted a little from running around and my body felt heavy. I should try to get some sleep.

Lastly I traveled through Hungary to Slowenia. Before that, I was in Germany.

Taking a blanket and a pillow, I tried to make it comfortable for myself and laid down. The floor was hard and the bed I made, wasn't very cosy. It took a long time till I finally fell asleep.
