Catching Up

Last we wrote we were just getting ready to leave Bulgaria.  By this time we had experienced many different regions and cultures with many more to go. We have seen how the very wealthy live and how the rest of the people live.  Most have to wok 2 jobs to stay even or just to get a little ahead.

We have been eating local dishes and find them quite good for the most part, although some were somewhat bland.  Breakfast is somewhat different.  Usually have scrambled eggs, bacon, not cooked the way we are used to,sausage, fruit, breads and rolls, cheeses, cold cuts, tomatoes and juice.

Lunches usually are on our own and we usually eat a local sandwich at an outdoor cafe.  Out door dining is all over Europe and very common.

The eastern block countries are now quite  colorful as compared to years ago when every thing was dark or gray.  They have supermarkets,car dealers, boutiques, just about everything now.
