Documenting the steps I'm taking in applying for the Peace Corps and my service in Bulgaria! The contents of this website are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. government or the Peace Corps.
So time flies. I can't believe that it's already been 1 full year of service. Well technically 1 and a quarter but who's counting. Before MSC I had gone to visit my friend Brian at his town for some July 4th festivities. That was great. It was good to eat some coleslaw, some burgers, and dogs and to play a quick game of pick up flag football. I was stoked to hold a pig skin again. Got me pumped about the upcoming season! Any rate..MSC has arrived and it was in beautiful Vratsa again. It was great to see everyone and see how they were doing. I didn't get to see my host family because they were out of town so I ended up seeing my friends, Valerie and CJ, host families. It was a blast. Shortly afterward I went back to beautiful Rhodopes and enjoyed some mid summer fun. So per usual when I'm not working, I'm out with friends hiking, down at the cave, taking tourists around the village, and just causing some good times. I have posted some pictures of some recent hikes, and some may wonder why I get up so early in the mornings? We'll here's the reason...this is video, and picture, of my landlord. He is killing, skinning and gutting, a sheep. I didn't know this, but he's become the local town butcher. So at any rate, if I don't get up early...I have to leave through the only door which is where that lamb is hanging...So it's either I get up and beat the butchery, or I get awoken to the death cries of some sheep.
Ahh the life.
Cheers!
Ok the videos I have, one is not focused at all, but you get to hear me speak some pretty bad Bulgarian, and the other is just a close up of the meal!
