the pilgrimage

Spring Break, part one. Yes, we have two Spring Breaks this school year. The Bulgarian Orthodox church observes the Easter on April 27th while the American Easter was observed on March 23rd. This is one of the many benefits of working at an American school abroad, one observes holidays from both countries- double the vacation time!
So, I had two friends visit from the states, Angela and Kaitlyn. While, Gordon went to Central Turkey and then I met up with him on the Aegean Sea coastline in the town of Izmir. Below are some pictures, with captions to follow soon.
