Oh, what a night!

This is just to give you a tiny hint of the crazy party I went to yesterday night. It was a double birthday party:) I think that maybe 30 or 40 people came and we were dancing like crazy :) Just great!

Trip to Etara and Sokolovo monastery

I used the last day of my vacation and convinced my parents to go on a short trip to the Sokolovo monastery and the etnographic museum Etara.
Here are some pictures:

My vacation didn't go so well...

It is very true that whenever you are very eager to do something, usually things screw up.The same happened with my vacation...more or less.
I went to the seaside, yet I didn't go to the beach, as the sea was dirty (too much building of hotels near Varna, resulted in a sewage system breakdown). Anyway, I was not much in the mood for beach-ing as Mury had serious health problems and I was quite concerned. I hope things get better with her.
Despite that, I think I managed to have some good rest and time for myself :) Which is always quite valuable.
I went back to Veliko Turnovo and the stay there was quite nice and calm - I visited a friend in the nearby Arbanassi (the luxurious villa-quarter of the town) and spent several nice hours chatting. I met some friends and drank coffee on hot sand. I also managed to spend a surprising amount of time watching TV :)
Yet, the last days we went to Gabrovo, Sokolovo monastery and the etnographic museum "Etara". And this week I am going to continue with the village tourism and stay 4 days in some nice villages in Rodopi mountain:)Hope the weather stays okay, rain please GO AWAY!
