Back from sunny, hot and humid Bulgaria. Why there? Too long to explain, but it was AMAZING! Wonderful old-world Slavic culture mixed with sometimes amusing Soviet-era architecture and monuments (did anyone see the recent dark-comedy "The Death of Stalin"?). Got to swim in the fairly salty and slightly smelly (of sulfur) Black Sea. Wonderful people, strange Cyrillic (impossible?) writing and a different currency (since although they are in the EU they are not on the Euro). Thankfully, most people spoke at least some English everywhere we went (especially in Sofia). Did a complete loop of the country for 11 days.
We also spent 4 days in Scotland (where our old friends arranged for me to fly in a two-seater Eurostar EV-97 plane, and ride in a combine harvesting barley!!!), and 4 days in Paris. Good to be back home.
