Bulgarian Kardjali Province

Our first week in Bulgaria in the Kardjali Province included 7 shows in 7 different cities.  Each were well received and performed without any trouble.  One show had a brief "intermission" due to a flash rain shower, but we were able to quickly resume and regather most of the audience.

Katie has also become a more intricate part of the program performing her own dance piece, participating in a "stomp" percussion routine with the rest of the group and joining Dustin on the 6ft. unicycle.  We don't have a good picture of this last one yet but when we do we'll post it for you.  Basically Katie makes her entrance onto stage during the routine, hops onto the peg attached to the axle of the 6ft unicycle and hold's Dustin's outstretched arm.  We do a couple circles then Katie jumps off and makes her exit.  We look forward to developing this part of the show more.

We are so thankful for both our local organizers and the municipality of each city for their generous and thoughtful planning and provision to make these events happen.  We know that many new relationships have been built, seeds have been planted and resulting fruit will no doubt grow for years to come.

Entertaining the Deputy Mayor with a napkin eating contest.  Dustin won every time!
