The last few days I have been having too much fun to take time out to blog. That seems to be a pattern for me.
I’ve posted some pictures from the past few days to https://noelsk.smugmug.com/Photo-Galleries/BG-Rose-Valley-Workshop-2019
Last night we had a visit from the folk dancers, singers and musicians from the village of Kliment which is about 3 miles south of here. It was a wonderful time, each group of folks we meet seems more friendly and animated than the last one. After an initial performance in the dance hall everyone moved outside and we danced in the courtyard of our compound. The colors and embroidery of their costumes were coordinated with the “rose” theme since we are located in the famous “Rose Valley”. The season for collecting rose oil from the local pink rose variety is nearly over. I got a chance to dance with the men of the performing group when I wasn’t busy taking videos to record the festivities.
The weather continues to cooperate, while it did rain a little yesterday night and it’s quite overcast now.
My right knee is a bit cranky but it hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the dancing so far.
I don’t have much more to add right now so I’ll go off to dance class before it is over.
Do utre … until tomorrow, when I will be off to Sofia to rent a car and continue my journey to Plovdiv for two days, and then onward into the Rhodope mountains.
