Wow, what a trip. Everybody had a little different experience, but finally here. The first impression on me was the incredible value of seeing a new culture with a vastly different paradigmatic foundation. What one sees when stepping into Bulgaria is a country of former communism which is in the process of becoming capitalist.
The arrival day was pretty relaxed and enjoyable to the extent that we had any energy left after our flights. Just a few hundred yards away from the beautiful sands of the Black Sea our balconies all open up to the rising sun--I'm sure I'll see it at some point but this morning I opted for more sleep. My roommate and I awoke to an equally pleasant experience, the sound of our ever-joyful colleague, Kaitlyn Harding, greeting the others from different balconies.
After a good night's rest, everybody is quite pleasant and in high spirits. We have a day of familiarizing ourselves with the area and tonight we begin full rehearsals for the Requiem.
