Crazy Last Week

This past week has been kind of crazy. We had two guests helping with our English class over the past week. It was great spending time with other volunteers, but I am glad everyone has gone back to their sites.

Our first guest was Mike. He is originally from Twinsburg, OH, so he and John know some of the same places. We first decided to show him around town, off to the hotel we went. On the 16^th floor of the hotel there is a discotech. There we can go out onto a balcony and see the whole city in front of you. We had never been up there, it was a great site and we were happy that we went. We then decided to show our City Park and zoo. Our City Park is pretty big and has a nice playground, but our zoo leaves lot to be desired by American standards. While Mike was here we also went back to a village nearby that has a 9^th – 10^th Century site on a hillside. We walked around and looked for pieces of pottery, did not find much. The next day he went home and our second guest came.

Our second guest was Jeremy. He was at our training site with us and consequently a good friend. Unfortunately, I was not felling well the first couple of days he was here. So, he and John went to explore the city by themselves. On Monday, I was feeling better so off we went to Varna, the largest city on the sea and only two hours from us. We had never been to Varna or the Black Sea. It felt great walking along the beach and letting the water splash over my feet. Early on we decided not to go swimming that day, but somehow I still got soaked. All we wanted to do was get a good picture with the wave behind us, oh well. It was fun and we dried before we went home.

Sorry this blog Took SOOOOOOO LONG to get written. I well try to be better and faster at getting them up.
