Recent Travels

I saw that Alana posted a blog entry, but didn’t include anything about our recent travels! Well, we have had a whole lot of traveling recently, but not many pictures to prove it. Our most interesting recent trip, however, was to Pernik. Once every two years there is a celebration in Pernik, which is close to Sofia, called the International Masquerade Festival, also know as “The Kukeri Festival.” The most interesting part of this event is its traditional and not-so-traditional costumes, which are which – I have no idea. Originally these costumes were worn to scare away evil spirits. Now, it’s to attract tourists. Check out our recent pictures on Flickr!
