Preparations

Preparations are well under way for our next adventure. Carol and I leave next Tuesday for a little more than six months in Bulgaria. Carol was awarded another Fulbright and will be teaching American Literature at the University in Plovdiv. We have our passports with the appropriate visa, apartment secured and ride from the airport arranged. Not only did we learn a lot from our experience in Hungary but the development of the internet has made many things easier to organize. You may recall that our first night in our apartment in Hungary was a lot like camping - no sheets or towels or blankets and no coffee our first morning.
This time - through Air BnB, we have a fully furnished apartment and we have communicated with the landlady several times. Carol and I will both be updating this blog regularly so check back and let us know what you want more information about. We were very pleased and somewhat surprised when we returned from Hungary at the number of people who commented about the blog. We had no idea so many were reading along.
