Gipsy lane in the village .
Last night ,we were watching a program on the Knowledge Network, called " Michael Palin's New Europe " Michael traveled to Macedonia,Bulgaria and Turkey.It reminded me of our trip in July 2005.It had been a long time since I have been back in Bulgaria where I was born and raised.
My husband and I stayed in a small village with my aunt for 4 weeks and we made some trips to Sofia ( Bulgaria's capital) Veliko Turnovo, Nesebar, Sozopol and we went on a bus trip to Istambul, Turkey for 3 days.
That was an experience in itself.

What an exciting trip! I love to see pictures of people's vacations, but this was not just any vacation, the reunion must have been wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Great! My uncle and grandparents were from Macedonia and they lived in Bulgaria some years during the Second World War, then he came to Argentina where my mother and I was born.
