The next day, I took a bus across the country to meet a PCV on the coast. The weather here has been crazy lately-going from proper summer to winter-ish overnight When I arrived for my first view of the Black Sea in Bulgaria, it was FREEZING, super windy, and pouring rain.
C, my friend from training, lives in the far southeast of country, just a few kilometers from the Turkish border. We had dinner in Burgas before the hour ride to her town. It was my first time visiting her site—we live about as far apart as is possible. She works in a culture center in a small border town.
For the 4th, she had planned American games and trivia with local youth (I brought patriotic beach balls and paddleballs for prizes—thanks Mom) and a women’s group meeting. Although the rules of capture the flag were never quite followed and we ended up playing Bulgarian dodge ball for last hour, the kids seemed to enjoy it and it was nice to see her community.
