Sunday Hike

I had some friends over for the weekend, the weather agreed and gave us a beautifull mild fall weekend. We played Tennis and spent as much time as possible outside. Today after everyone else went home Krissy stayed and went with me on a big hike and picnic in the mountains around town.

We walked to the monastary a few kiliometers up the valley, ate lunch and then took a beautifull hike back to town on the "EcoTrail" through the foothills.

I am so thankfull to be in a place so blessed with natural beauty. Im so glad that im up in the mountains and not down on the Danube flood plain.

Only about a 1000 kilometers to my little bro.

Fall in Pravetz

Fall is definetly here in Bulgaria. School is settling into a rythme, days come one after another and life has become extremely routine. We had our first snow last week, it was only an inch or two and it was gone by the late afternoon. Every morning I wake up to a cold mountain frost, and the hum of my little electric radiator.

I walked to the lake last night and caught the fall sunset.






The hotels on the other side of the lake.




The road into town.... Welcome to Pravetz


Pravetz is celebrating 25 years of being an official city, with plenty of signs and banners to let everyone know.
