Tsvetana and Ivan in Sofia, Bulgaria
Our last months in The Netherlands have been fun. Not only did we spend a lovely three weeks in Greece, but we were invited for a four day visit to Sofia, Bulgaria as guests of Tsvetana and Ivan Kamenova. This is them at the train station in Sofia as we left to return to Thessaloniki. We traveled first class on a brand new train in a private compartment, even air conditioned. The trip lasted five hours and cost Euro 17! Ivan is a painter and teacher in the National Art Academy. He has illustrated many children's books and now concentrates on his painting. Tsvetana is a professor of law and they were fantastic hosts for us. In fact, we were not allowed to spend even one penny for the whole days we were there. We stayed in their house 10 kilometers outside the city, on a hilltop overlooking the city. After another bottle of wine, I think we promised to be their hosts in Miami, but I am certain we swore to visit them again.
