Judith Fest: Kids!!

I went with mommy and tati to a grown-up party for mom's friend Judith. I thought it would be VERY boring, but it turned out there were lots of other cool kids there! Here's us playing on a fun log in Stevenson Quad with our parents. FUN! I think I have 3 new best friends.

Playing Soccer!

I had a fun time playing soccer yesterday with tati. Very fun! I think I am close to being a soccer star. I can even fall like a star!

Trip to Thassos!

My parents went to a Greek island for a few days while we were visiting Baba i Djado. Even though I am sooo fun, they don't always take me with them on vacation. Anyway, I had a better time with Djado anyway. Trips to the park, trips to the garden and just hanging out.

My mom wanted to post pics of there vacation here, so I said, 'sure'. Here's mom:

Stoycho and I drove from Stoycho's hometown (Kardjali, Bulgaria) to Greece. It took about 6 hours. We arrived in Keramati and took a short ferry ride to Thassos. We stayed at a very cute pension in a small touristy town called Potos. It was very cute and right near the beach. Unfortunately, it was a little chilly for swimming, but we wandered around the town, ate at the cute restaurants and went on a very nice bike ride part way around the island. We were there for 2 nights and on the third day, headed home to Niko.


First, we had to get on a ferry to go to Thassos. Stoycho is checking out our car which is parked on an incline under the ferry!

Here is our very cute hotel, Pension Aldebaran.

View from our hotel room's balcony. Cute narrow street.

View from the bike ride.

We had lunch on this beach.

It rained the day we were there in the afternoon--then this beautiful rainbow!

We took a 24km bike ride around the island--very fun!

Bulgarian Orthodox Baptism

Here's the church I got baptized in. It is in Kardjali, Bulgaria.

Here's me with mom before the ceremony.

Here's some of the guests. From left: Djado, Kalinka, cousin of djado, Baba, cousin of djado, Tati, Auntie Jofka (my Bulgarian godmother).

Here's me, the guests and the priest (called 'powp' in Bulgarian) as the ceremony was starting.

In part of the ceremony, the priest touched me with a leafy branch.


Then the priest had to put water on my head and on my feet. I was not happy about the water on my feet.


At the end the priest and this helper woman, me and my Bulgarian godmother walked around the center table.

To and From Bulgaria!

Here's us getting ready to go on our trip! SFO, May 25. Notice that I am carrying my OWN backpack! (Tati, me and Mommy)

Here's us at our last dinner in Sofia, Bulgaria. (Tati, me and Djado)

Here's us getting ready to leave Bulgaria. It is 4am, so we all look tired. Sofia, Bulgaria, June 6. (Djado, Tati and me)
