STING and Sunny Beach

This past weekend I went to ‘Sunny Beach’ to see a Sting concert with some other Peace Corps Volunteers—it was GREAT! Well, bazaar . . . but great! Sunny Beach is the tourist town on the Bulgarian coast. Nearly everyone there was Dutch or English. It was so odd. I heard almost no Bulgarian at all the entire weekend. It felt like being in a different country-It looks noting like the rest of Bulgaria. Sunny Beach has hotels as far as the eye can see. I don’t think I saw one Block (big communist style apartment building) the whole time. The only bad thing about the whole trip was how expensive everything was. Most of the tourists seemed to be thinking it was a deal but compared to the rest of Bulgaria the prices are very high there. Here are some photos from the trip.
