A few of us regional Varna volunteers met up in Varna on August 7th to celebrate Navy Day. The Bulgarian Navy is headquartered in Varna so it is a big celebration. Down by the sea port there was a naval ship open to the public. It was the Cuauhtemoc, a training ship for officer cadets from the Mexican Navy. They do tours every year and this year they are in the Black Sea. We got to go on and walk around, take pictures, listen to salsa music and talk to sailors (if you knew Spanish).

Afterward we walked around the pier to the lighthouse and had a picnic lunch, then we watched an international youth regatta sponsored by the yacht club. They had boats from all down the Bulgarian coast, the Ukraine and Spain. We stuck around and watched the awards show since we had gotten to talking to one of the judges. They have another one on Friday that we're planning to watch.
