Long Week

This past week and a half has been long, and all over the place, but seeing as I like traveling and adventure in general I really enjoyed it and it was awesome. Last weekend was the end of summer volunteer party in Varna. Friday night I was invited to a country music party at one of the British establishments in Avren so I went to that instead of the first night of the Varna party. I went on Saturday to the volunteer party we hit up the beach and then to the hostel where we were all staying.

We went grocery shopping and made a giant amount of Mexican food, which was amazing! The tortillas we tried to make failed but the rice worked, the guac was awesome and we actually found ground beef.
mmmmmmm
There were about 15 people, give or take, and we had a good dance party in the basement. We woke up Sunday and went into the center together, then got some Thai food in Varna proper and I headed back to the village.
Monday was a holiday and as I didnt have to work I took the early bus back into Varna and met some people at the beach. Tuesday was the start of my conference in Sliven, but since that is on my side of the country I went to work that morning and then headed down in the afternoon. Tuesday-Friday I was in Sliven at a Project Design and Management conference centered around environmental projects. The conference was for both the COD and YD programs and I got to see my friends again from my training group who all live on the other side of the country. They decided that since they were already on my side of the country that they would go through Varna for a night en-route home. We went down to the beach for the evening and stayed with a volunteer who lives nearby. Saturday we showed people around town and people left on buses or trains when they needed to. Sunday I was back in Varna with people who live nearby to get some food at the larger grocery store and some table cloths from the second hand store since I was in need of them.
