hey everyone!
so i am pretty sure that this will post on blogspot, but let me assure you that it took me forever to figure out how to post something on here, not because its complicated, but because my password didnt work and everything is in bulgarian. the help menu, the emails blogspot sent me and everything. but finally success.
life in bulgaria has been great so far. i attend language class every day and study all day after that. my group is working right now on setting up a community project, and we have a big meeting with community leaders for it tomorrow. i also have a placement interview tomorrow, and in two weeks i will find out where i will be living and what job i will have for the next two years. it will be a big day, but im not too worried about it.
life with the host family is going great. the langauge classes are starting to pay off and i can carry on meaningful, albeit simple, conversations with the family members. i still miss most of whats said, but im progressing. everyone has been really helpful and patient, working with me and assisting my studies. sometimes i will sit with the grandmother or my sister for an hour or two while they quiz me on vocab or correct my grammar. dinner is always a fun time, we usually eat around 9 at night and have a long relaxed meal with the family.
the food is still good, lots of salt and oil, but everything is delicious and i will not go hungry anytime soon. i will be dissapointed when it starts getting cold out because there is so much good fruits and veggies coming from the garden. i think at the end of next month i will get to help the family make wine from the grapes in their vinyard, but it wont be ready to drink until winter. i will just have to come back and visit the family then.
i will try to write again soon, and maybe post pics if i can figure it out. talk to you all later

Darn right you need to post some pictures. Especially if you have a sister ...
Hope all is well, man. You're doing good work, and you make us all proud.
Where does one go climbing in Bulgaria?
Justin,
Good to hear from you and so glad to hear that everything is going so well! Have you tasted their wine yet? Maybe from a past crop? Would love to try some.
The kids are in school and Collin is starting out much better in German this year. I hear he has a much better teacher. Sam found some girls he's taken a fancy to I think & Bre well what can I say, she 14.......
Miss and Love you. Have a great adventure. Dad
I will be on a computer at 3:30 our time today in case you are able to call.
You are in your element!
Love Mom
Yo Justin! Good to hear from you buddy...and yeah the pictures would be nice...especially if you have a sister (How much?) HaHaHa. Peace, can't wait to see you again Justin. Any chance you'd want to come visit me in Spain sometime between Oct. 9 and Oct.16? Brett.
Justin, we need a new update on your adventures!
Hey, man. Everything sounds good. You're living an amazing, challenging life. Things haven't changed much in Boulder. I like our new place and am currently in a bureaucratic battle over residency. It turns out that it was a stupid move on my part to vote absentee in Nebraska. BLAH! We need an update!!
