We are leaving from Stara Zagora right now and it's 9:15. I totally didn't know that we were going to another town, so I walked down with just my day bag, and Dr. Szmedra said "Mr. Willis, go get your bag - we're leaving." Definitely didn't know that we were going to Veliko Tarnavo.
Also, last night when we went to Dr. Iordanova's hometown - she and her family actually cleaned up the are from the street where we would park our bus over to her house. She said that on the way to her house. She then said that the locals were asking them why they were cleaning up the area, and that they were actually telling her to stop because it was not her place to clean the streets. She said that under the Communist rule that there were more community centered and that they actually cared about how the area looked - I guess they wanted to try and appear as "normal" as possible for the outside world.
It was really interesting to experience all her culture had to offer - the best part - we all connected on a family level. Towards the end of the party last night, it started to rain. Literally, we all jumped in and started moving stuff inside - and Dr. Iordanov said that we were just like his family. It was a nice feeling to be accepted like that.
