It's been a whirlwind of a few weeks. The end of the school year is always insanely busy. I had lots of do and lots more that I wanted to do. Now school is out and I've got two months of vacation ahead of me.

See, there are some perks to being a teacher.

So, I hopped on a plane and now I am exploring Scandinavia with my friend and fellow teacher P. We're starting the adventure in Denmark, then heading to Sweden, Finland, Estonia and finishing things off in Norway. It's going to be a busy two weeks.

This means that I'll be around much less on this blog between July 4 and the 17th. I am looking forward to having a chance to relax, unplug (a little bit anyway, I'll still tweet and upload pictures to flickr) and to explore a new part of the world. I don't really know what to expect from Scandinavia so this going to be an exciting (and expensive) trip.

I'll be back in Sofia from the 17th to the 31st and then on the 1st of August I am going to fly home and spend the month in Walla Walla.
