Below is my Bulgarian family and the woman on the left is my language trainer, Daniela. She's awesome, and so's my family. My host father is Stoicho, mother is Danche, and sister is Tereza. I have another sister who's married and has a ten month old baby, but they live in another village and weren't with us this night. The other volunteers in my group and I treated our families out to dinner in the only restaurant in the town a couple days before we left. And this is it. We had a good time. We spent a few hours there, talking, drinking wine, and dancing the Horo, a traditional Bulgarian dance of which there are several kinds. In the picture on the right we're dancing the easiest one. For all Horos, everyone holds hands and dances the same steps in a really long line (usually this is done at weddings and big celebrations with hundreds of people in the line). I only know how to do one horo, but I hope to learn more during my years here. The steps get really complicated, but my coworkers assure me that they can teach me. I just need some opportunities to practice.
