money. Before leaving the bank, they
killed a security guard.
Six months later, they were driving
their car. Some police officers were
waiting for them behind some trees
at the side of the road. When Bonnie

The most dangerous age for a mans
health is from 50 to 60. Exercise is
very important, but not as important
as a healthy diet. A bad diet is the

biggest reason for health problems.

Vegetables are better than fast food,
for example. People with the most
stressful jobs have a shorter life than
people who have no stress. They
should try to relax. They should
exercise more than once a week. A
hard, sweaty sport is not as good for
your health as regular, easy exercise.

Rila Monastery is one of the most

beautiful buildings in the whole of
Bulgaria. It is situated in the fabulous
Rila Mountains in the attractive
west of the country. It was built in
the fourteenth century, but was
destroyed in a fire. It was later rebuilt,
and it is now an interesting museum.
The gorgeous road to the monastery
follows a pretty valley through the
forest. After parking the car in the
parking lot, you go through two large
doors into the monastery. Most people
are not prepared for the incredible
beauty of what they see inside.
