Bulgarian Mountains

The mountain resort town where we’ve been having our pre-pre service training, is fantastic. This morning, I woke up early for the second time to run to an old ski trail and climb to the top of the mountain with another volunteer. It started raining during our ascent, but the view was still spectacular. Our descent was a bit tricky, but we made it back in time for another delicious breakfast and the first training session. Our days have been full of meetings, interviews, shots, and Bulgarian language lessons. Tonight is our last night before we are transferred to our host families in the satellite communities. There will be a large dinner and a local group will perform traditional Bulgarian dances. Yesterday, we were taught a few basic dances in the front of the hotel. They are performed in a circle with lots of kicks and jumps. I have a feeling that the performance tonight will look a bit more impressive…
