Speaking Spanish in Bulgaria

I wanted to share a quick, funny story today. Yesterday we went to Ruse which is where Mitko's parents live. We had lunch with his parents and stayed the night. After dinner we were sitting around the table and I was practicing my Bulgarian and everyone was talking about Bulgarian grammer. I asked Mitko's dad if he spoke any English and he responded in Bulgarian by saying, "No, but I do speak Spanish." I got super excited and responded in Spanish and we had a great conversation in Spanish. It was funny to be talking to a Bulgarian in Spanish. It turns out when he was a kid he lived in Cuba with his family for several years. It was funny because for once in the past two weeks I was talking with someone and NO one else in the room could understand. Usually, everyone else is talking and I can't understand!!
