On October 8-9, 2005 I participated in the Third Conference on kindergarten education dedicated to the heritage of the American Elizabeth Clark and the Bulgarian Penka Kasabova. It was held at the seaside in Burgas. I found out that the emblem of Burgas Open University and the emblem of Arizona look alike. Posted by Picasa

The kids from an orphanage in Burgas sang about friendship and peace. Some of them were "waves," others were "ducks," "cowboys," "sailors," and girls dressed in national costumes. A Bulgarian sailor gets stranded at the US coastline and there he makes friends with the local people. We all enjoyed the musical. Posted by Picasa
