I am Here

Here is a local sheep farmer by Kate's house
This is the national holiday last Monday. It celebrated the men who created the alphabet.
My eating area. The white door in the center is where we eat. The building to the left is the kitchen.
My shower room. Enough said. Watch out for spiders!
My sleeping area. See my REI backpack?
I know this is late, but this is the first time I've had internet since I've been here. I am in a little town about 40 minutes north of Vratsa. I live with a Baba (aka Baba Johnny) at the very outskirts of town. She is a little eccentric, but I love her. She loves to hug and kiss on me. She's very proud that I am with her. I get shown off a lot in town.

I don't want to post too much, because I know it get difficult to read. So I am going to put up pictures of my life so far in Bulgaria.

Lessons are going well, although I wish I could learn faster. Now that I've been here for awhile, I actually want to converse with my Baba and the people of my village.

Food has been interesting. As most of you know, I have texture issues and some food choices have been interesting. But I try everything and hope not offend anyone.

I try to stay positive. It's hard not knowing what is going on around me, but it's nice to have my 3 other Peace Corps members close by.

Hopefully the pictures will give you an accurate picture of my life. I will try to post more specifics later.
