Today we had a school field trip around Sofia! We explored many ruins and old buildings. We even got to go in the Presidental Palace which was really amazing. It hadn't been updated since the time of Communism, so it is very dark and grey. But it really made you feel like you had been brought back in time. The picture I attached are of us High School girls, we're kind of like a little Pack. Hahah We're from all over the place! Plyska is english, Merve is Turkis...

My weekend is coming to an end but it was a great one so I'm not complaining. :) Friday at school was "Outside Learning Day" in Downtown Sofia.

We shopped for a bit & did some sight seeing. We're girls so of course we wanted to sit afte...

Today was my first Saturday here in beautiful Sofia & also the first day of Autumn! The sun was shining high in the sky this morning. I could feel those sun rays sparkling on my face as I sat out on our balcony enjoying my breakfast. The morning started off with crisp sun and a cool breeze. PERFECT Fall weather! With not very much planned for my day I just took it easy and went with the flow. Lourdes & I walked over to HIT, a grocery store close by that c...
