Another Blog for Photos of Bulgaria


There is a website, where Peace Corps volunteers in Bulgaria are posting photos of our memories here. Right now, mine are the second set from the top of the page. My post is called "Snippets of Bulgaria." (Sometimes it takes a long time for the photos to load - be patient). 

Налице е уебсайт, където доброволци от Корпуса на мира в България се публикуване на снимки на нашите спомени. В момента са мои втория сет от горната част на страницата.Моя пост се нарича "малки парченца от България." (Понякога това отнема много време за снимките, за да се зареди - бъдете търпеливи).

Beautiful, Bountiful Bulgaria



These are all gifts from the garden this week. The tall leafy green is celery leaves, stalks are rarely used here, and they are very tiny stalks, not like the ones that make excellent "dip" vehicles.

Peppers are most often roasted and/or canned.  Or stuffed with "sirene" cheese and baked.  Mmmmm.  The grapes are at their peak - juicy and sweet.  They are eaten as snacks, but most become wine and rakia. The carrots are beautiful and grow into creative shapes.  The apples and pears are not quite ripe but soon they will be.

The happy challenge now, is eating it all!   Thank you everyone.  I am so blessed!

Dog Days of Summer / Кучешки дни на лятото




This dog had the right idea on how to cool off on a hot summer day.  He had an audience smiling at him too!
