One Year Anniversary

First of all, a few words from some of my favorite characters:

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think, I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle." Alice of Alice in Wonderland

"'Yes, it's very wicked to lie,' said Pippi even more sadly. 'But I forget it now and then. And how can you expect a little child whose mother is an angel and whose father is king of a cannibal island and who herself has sailed on the ocean all her life - how can you expect her to tell the truth always? And for that matter,' she continued, her whole freckled face lighting up, 'let me tell you that in the Congo there is not a single person who tells the truth. They lie all day long. Begin at seven in the morning and keep on until sundown. So if I should happen to lie now and then, you must try to excuse me and to remember that it is only because I stayed in the Congo a little too long. We can be friends anyway, can't we?'" Pippi of Pippi Longstocking

As of today, I've officially been in Bulgaria for one year! Happy Anniversary B26s!

And other days even:

For the most part it's usually:

Or an overall feeling of:

Though I miss all my friends and family back in the US of A, I am happy to say that I'm glad I came to Bulgaria. 

Peace, love, literacy, and reckless curiosity.
