Hi!

Just happened across your website while searching for Americans living in Sofia....it's a very lovely site, very cheerful.  I will be moving there with my fiance (soon to be husband) this September.  My guy is from Sofia originally and we are planning on spending a year there.  I visited Sofia last year (as well as Istanbul--loved your pictures--we went to the same places!) and loved it.  I am going to go get the book by Kapka Kassabova today, it sounds really interesting.  We are currently living in Adelaide, Australia.  I too just went back to the U.S. this past May after living in Australia for over two years, many of your comments really resonated with me. :)  I have been studying Bulgarian now (very part time) for over two years.  I plan on attending ICS as soon as we arrive.  We are also bringing our dog, he's an international canine!  We will be living on Ulitza Gorki (near the Starbucks-haha).

Thanks for your website!

Best wishes!
