My service would have ended today

If you look at my clock ticker you would see that my PC service would have officially ended today. BUT NOPE I am staying here for another year.

I found my profession... teaching young people at the University is proving to be rewarding. My students love me and I love them. This third year in Bulgaria is turning out to be very good and I am happy.

I was supposed to travel to Serbia last month but I didn’t get a chance to go anywhere. I had to move into my new apartment the weekend I was supposed to be in Serbia. Now I am afraid to go to Serbia because the weather is changing and I do not like traveling in cold weather. Maybe during the spring I will do Belgrade, Vienna, Budapest, and Madrid.

Speaking of Spain my Bulgarian friend that lives in Spain came to Bulgaria to visit his family for a little. It was a lot of fun hanging out with him and his family. He also brought a Spanish friend with him. It was interesting listening to them speak Spanish because I could recognize words that I had studied 10 years ago in high school.

Other news:
-I just got a new guitar well it isn’t “new” but it is new to me. I am hoping to find someone that will teach me to play.

-I finally went hiking with my best PC friend Brendan. He is leaving Bulgaria soon so I will def miss him.

-All of the PCVs that came to Bulgaria with me have finished their service and gone home. I will miss you all.

-I am going home to visit in December. Wahoo I am putting together my shopping list now.

-My dreadlocks are coming along really well. I still have this unnerving desire to put breads in my hair but I promised myself I would not do anything until after two months.

Ok that is all for now. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
