Day 40: Good-Bye, Hello

I'm sitting here in my hotel room at the Crystal Palace in Sofia, Bulgaria all packed and ready to go to the airport, but I thought I'd write one last time. My plane leaves early afternoon and I fly from Sofia to Frankfurt, have an hour lay-over, and then am off to Chicago.

Throughout this trip I have been gone for 40 days,

Moved around to 17 different hotels,

Met and become friends with 15 people,

Seen ancient ruins that date to 10,000 BC,

Learned basic Greek and Bulgarian,

and had a wonderful experience!

See you all hopefully soon!

Sincerely,

Ms. G
