We are back
It's been more than two weeks since we came back from our trip to Bulgaria.Finally I settled down: got adjusted to the time zone, organized the house a little bit, got used to my regular routine and now I feel I can post some pictures from our trip.We had a lot of wonderful moments with my family and friends during this trip and some not so happy experiences but they were mainly connected with the process of travelling itself.
My daughter rediscovered the country again as she did not remember much from her previous two trips.She was too young at that time.She loved the food prepared mainly from scratch, the beautiful nature especially the country side and the sea.She was ecstatic when she saw the Black Sea for the first time and did not want to leave the city of Bourgas because she wanted to spent more time at the beach.Needless to say that she was so happy to see and spend time with her grandma and her uncle,my friends who she remembered very well from her previous visits and to play with their children.
The worst moment of our trip was at the beginning when we missed our connection to Munich.There was a storm over Chicago and they shut the airport down.We had to land in the city of Molina,IL and although we had 6 hour layover we missed our next flight.As a result we had to spent about 20 hours at the airport in Chicago There were hundreds of people like us who missed their flights.We were offered cot beds, pillows and blankets in a rest area at Terminal 3.It looked like a refugee camp.I am mentioning this not because I want to concentrate on the negative events but because it was kind of unique experience although not very pleasant.We tried to make the best of the rest of our time at the O'Hara airport.We explored it,we did some sketching and people watching,pictures taking and ate at a Chinese restaurant.In the pictures:

A trip on my mind
I started planing my new trip to Bulgaria.I do not know why I get so nervous when this time comes.Before it was like an adventure.To travel,to hang at the airports to meet new people to see my relatives to visit with my friends.It was fuuun!Now I get nervous.Oh well, I know everything will be OK.Here you can see some pictures I took during my previous trip in 2011.It was in September and the fall in Bulgaria is very pretty.
