Home ACS Home

At the end of June, our campus villa finally was complete and we were able to move in after a year-long remodeling job. Scurrying from the old apartment in Mladost and back to campus to move all of our stuff in a frenzied haze of hours before my flight to California, with just enough time to make various piles of boxes in the villa and campus maintenance crews assembling furniture, I did not have a chance to enjoy our new digs until our return at the end of August. It took a long time, but we have finally made this our home here in Bulgaria.

Living on campus has been a real treat for both of us. Besides the short commute - about 100 meters to our offices and classrooms - we have reveled in living in such a beautiful place. It is an oasis in the desert of old and ugly communist-style block apartment buildings that is typical of everything outside the city center. The boxes are all unpacked; the paintings from Roma, Paraguay, Argentina, and Sofia are up on the walls; the fireplace has been successfully utilized; a cat door installed; and we are happy to be home.

Our New Home

Our apartment is one of three in this villa; we are in the first floor apartment shown here.


View from our patio looking out. A great place to eat lunch or have a glass of wine.


This is what the morning sun does to our living room. Beyond the french doors, our bedroom is found.


A view of our living room that includes the grand fire place. We await you Mr. Winter.
