The Final Countdown

In less than one week I will be back in the United States. I am glad I came here, but I am ready to be home. I miss my husband, my family, my friends, my cats, my home, and much more. Six weeks is a long time to be away from home.

I am currently saturated with Bulgarian grammer. I have one more lesson tomorrow and than I am calling it quits. I feel like I have covered the same amount of grammer in six weeks as I learned in six years of Spanish. My teacher is moving super fast. I think she was so focused on finishing the grammer book and she didn't realize how overwhelming it all is for me. I am looking forward to getting home and having some time to digest what I have learned and try to start using it. Right now I feel like I am just cramming it all into my head as fast as I can.

I continue to try new things everyday. Today we had soup made with stomach and intestines. This is a traditional Bulgarian dish. It was not my favorite, but it was not too bad. I think I have now tired most of the traditional Bulgarian food. All the traditional Bulgarian food without tomatoes. I am sure Ivan's parents will eat lots of tomatoes when I leave :)

Katherine I thought of you today when we went shopping. We bought two shirts at a store and they put each shirt in a separate bag. I know you would not be able to tolerate that, and I let you down because I didn't say anything. But I did not know how to say it in Bulgarian so I hope you will forgive me.

Well, I am sure I will write again but I am almost done with this Blog. Thanks so much for reading and supporting my effort to learn Bulgarian. Talk to you soon!!
