well hello everyone,

we are finally back from our three-week trip to bulgaria. thanks to spas and mina, we were able to visit and see their beautiful country. so thank you again spas and mina for giving lyala and i this opportunity. i guess i will start from the beginning.

we boarded our train in kiev about noon to leave for bulgaria. in total i think the trip time was about 42 hours. but i love riding on the train so this is just part of the vacation. on the train lyala and i had our own room most of the way. there is a conductor that makes you tea and coffee. and you always meet people. on the way to bulgaria we met a girl named gala that was from ukraine but lived in bulgaria. later she helped us get a room in sofia, bulgaria’s capital city. here are some pics of the trip.
