I thought it might be a good idea to share our own personal experiences traveling to and around Bulgaria for those who might be planning an upcoming trip there. There were some things that we expected and adequately prepared for, some things that we thought we had properly prepared for but hadn’t, and some things … Continue reading Travel Tips When Visiting Bulgaria, From an American’s Perspective

A Time For Change
Thursday, June 17, 2021 Time is marching on toward our pending travel to Bulgaria. It certainly is an exciting time for us all on both ends of the world.

Traveling to Bulgaria
Wednesday June 23, 2021 The day has finally come to leave for Bulgaria and bring Meagan home! A lot of planning went into the trip and today is the day we depart.

Sightseeing Sofia
Monday, June 28, 2021 Just a little sightseeing in Sofia as we are waiting for our adoption appointments. The city of Sofia is beautiful ("mnogo krasiva" as I've been recently taught.

More Shopping, Another Movie, and Some of Sofia’s Iconic Sites
Thursday, July 1, 2021 Noting too incredibly interesting to write about today other than Mom and I are starting to go a little nutso from being in the apartment.

The Golden Bridges, Two Museums, One Last Movie, and Our Last Appointments
Monday, July 5, 2021 This morning, we met up with our dear friend Martina again at about 10:15. The general plan today was to head south from downtown Sofia to see Vitosha Mountain. We just didn't know what path we were going to take. Martina had three suggestions for us and we opted for the … Continue reading The Golden Bridges, Two Museums, One Last Movie, and Our Last Appointments
