Happy Fourth of July! A couple of days before the family left back for America we celebrated the fourth here in Grohotno. My mom brought over streamers, whistles, cups, little flags and everything you can think of! As luck would have it, it was also Hodja boy's 70th birthday! We started the day out by hiking up the mountain that faces the village to where my family (the bulgarian one) has a field with 10's of wild cherry trees. We spent the morning picking cherries, had an awesome picnic and then made cherry compot (canned juice) at home. After a quick rest, we began the holiday/birthday festivities. We had a huge dinner, and awesome cake, and then we danced horo and kuchek until the break of dawn...well...until 10pm anyway.
