Belitsa Hotels - Reviews and Rates

I continued a great weekend on Sunday by going for another hike in the Rila mountains. This time I went with Tsveti, one of the students in Belitsa who speaks perfect English. She studies in a neighboring town and we often meet to practice her English. She also is my assistant teacher for my primary summer classes. Anyway we had a great time. Fi...

This weekend we took a more adventurous hike up into the Rila mountains. we drove up to Semkovo, the mountain resort above my town, and walked from there. There were 5 of us - me, one of my best friends here Ana, her brother Vlado, her best friend Vlado and another friend Dinko. It was about 2 hours up and 1.5 down, including lots of breaks espe...

During my first summer in Belitsa my biggest mistake was not spending enough time in the mountains, especially hiking. so i started talking it up with my friends this spring, and Ana and I made our first short trip this weekend. We just headed up into the hills following a path Ana knew which runs along a little stream. On the way we did some pi...

We have a 4 day weekend this weekend because it's the end of the first semester. I'll be spending the day snowboarding tomorrow in Bansko - I'm super excited. A few weeks ago I bought a snowboard in Sofia at a winter market they have every weekend outside the football stadium, I got a second hand board, new boots and new bindings all for the gra...

Like Holiday parties in the States, Bulgarians generally have Christmas banquets during the week before Christmas with their colleauges, usually at a restaurant. I was invited to 2 - on Thursday night I went to the banquet for the other school in Belitsa (there are 2,) where my friend Rosi works. It was really sweet to invite me, which they did ...

Rosi is one of my 3 close friends here in Belitsa - the other 2 are Gosho and Assen. On her birthday Rosi had a group of us over to her house. It was a typical bulgarian evening, the only thing missing was a horo. First we ate salady foods for over 3 hours, and drank a lot. I pretty much filled up on that food, when (surprise) around 11 pm Rosi ...

I'm an active member and a huge fan of the webiste www.couchsurfing.com, the best website on the internet with youtube coming in a close second. In my past travels I've gotten to stay with some pretty awesome hosts in Spain and Portugal, and hosted some cool travellers when I was living in Sevilla. Within a couple weeks of eachother I had 2 CS g...

this weekend was verona's name day, and the name day of her cousin, vera. it was a good evening of drinking and food, and of course more horo. by the way, my friends are really into my digital camera, especially the video clips. they always take lots of pictures and record clips and then demand that i upload and send them to me right away when i...

People often ask me what kind of food we eat in America, and it's really hard to explain. I just keep telling them that because people in America come from every part of the world we eat food from all over the world too. Not only at restaurants, but what we cook in our homes too. And by the way, that's one of my favourite things about my country...

These next few entries are way late, i know!! i dont know what my problem is, its not like i'm busy over here. Anyway, the school year began on the 15th of September, as it does every year. I really like their attitude about it - they consider it a holiday, and tell eachother (and me) честит първи учевен ден! (chestit purvi ucheben den, or happy...
