пуйка Day in Dimitro
... enough to make me a real Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious. I have no idea what the turkey was stuffed with..and I don’t care to ever find out. After our dinner we had some amazing chocolate cake for Daniel’s birthday. We sang Happy Birthday to him and ate cake and drank whiskey. My kind of birthday. Haha. Overall, the dinner was a huge success and we all left happy and full of пуйка! ...

She told me she felt sad for Bulgaria and the economy because ...

Perfect. I also managed to work in a 13 miles run at the stadium. Luckily, there is a track about a mile away from my apartment. Not so lucky for me..it's a sand track. It still gets the job done! That half-marathon in two weeks will be nothing haha. Hilda also showed me the small shops close ...
