Down Time

When we started doing this in 1998 we would arrive and begin working the following day! Well, years have gone by and we have decided that a new plan was in order. So now, we give ourselves a couple of days to rest and adjust to the different time zone. This helps us endure the month with a bit less wear and tear. We take the time to tend to last minute coordination details, get our Bulgarian phones working and connect with old friends. There is a little restaurant a block from our B&B. We started going there in the beginning. Now, it, and the people there, are a routine part of our trip here. It's our Bulgarian version of Cheers! They all know us and give us a friendly welcome when we come in. Pat gets lots of hugs from the waitresses. Here are a few pictures of the place and the girls who have been there for all of those years. The pictures of the restaurant came out a little dark because my Bulgarian phone does not have a flash. Sorry about that!
