This photo was taken on Christmas Day 2009, in celo Banitsa at the home of my host parents, Baba Tsetsa and Metodi. I spent Christmas with Tsetsa and Metodi's son, Ivo, and his wife and two daughters in Vratsa. This was the first time that I had seen my host parents in five months and it was a welcome home coming. I ate three meals a day with them in this kitchen and I have fond memories of watching traditional Bulgarian folk music videos with Metodi in this room.
