Hi! We're Betty and Lee.
We are so glad that you're here. We're originally from small towns in the southern US. We moved to Germany many years ago and quickly fell in love with the country. As American expats living in Germany, things haven't always been easy, but we embraced our expat life and have grown to love our life in Germany.
The hardest part of living in Germany is being so far away from our children in college and extended family so we retired early and decided to try living part time in Germany and the United States. We'll share our travel experiences along with things that surprise us about living in both places.
We're beyond excited to have you join us on our adventure!
Happy Travels,
Betty and Lee

Thanks for filming my hometown. It's not that big, but it's beautiful and has a long history. As they say the city grows but doesn't get old. Very nice video!
Thank you for watching and sharing your kind comments. You have a beautiful hometown and we can’t wait to visit again.
A very nice video, just a couple of remarks. Alexander Nevski, after whom the biggest church in Bulgaria is named, is a Russian warrior saint but he lived in the Middle Ages (I believe in the 13th century), so not to be confused with the late 19th century Russian-Turkish Liberation War of 1977-1878. As for the patriarch, or the leader of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, the reason there are so many flowers and wreaths at that church (its name is Sveta Nedelya, or Holy Sunday) is that he was buried there after his recent passing about a month ago. As for the hierarchy in the Orthodox church, it is different from the Catholic Church where you have the Pope as the head of the whole church worldwide. In eastern Orthodoxy, each national Orthodox church has its head of church, called Patriarch, but he is only the head of the respective national church. For example, there is a Bulgarian patriarch, a Greek Patriarch, a Serb, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian, etc., so no unifying figure like the Pope in Catholicism. There is the so-called Ecumenical Patriarch who resides in Istanbul, a historical remainder of the once mighty Byzantine patriarch, but the current one (he is Greek though a Turkish citizen) is nothing like the Byzantine patriarch in the past. Anyway, enough of this history/religion stuff, I am glad you enjoyed our capital Sofia :)
Great information, thank you so much for watching and sharing your knowledge with us. Sofia is a beautiful city and Bulgaria is a beautiful country, we can’t wait to return.
3:20 it's not just the alphabet. Great Russia speaks Bulgarian dialect. The Church Slavonic language is Bulgarian, all their old books are Bulgarian
Oh wow, I didn’t know that. That’s very interesting. Thanks for the info and for watching our video, we hope you enjoyed it.
Boki, it's all serbian and you know it 😊
Fantastic video of my hometown. Thank you for visiting and enjoying Sofia! I hope you have a chance to return.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We love Sofia and the country of Bulgaria. We hope to return soon.
In the original version of the Cyrillic alphabet, composed by St. Kliment Ohridski, there are 44 letters for the 44 sounds, in contrast to the current Bulgarian alphabet with 30 letters. That is, we do not write like the Russians, but they write like us. The reverse is insulting.
Thanks for the great information and for watching our video. We hope you enjoyed it.
Stefi, it's all serbian and you know it 😊
@@sstarf3to7gives0 Everyone has the right to dream.

The eastern otrodox church have a head and it is the so called universe or universal patriarch and he resides in istanbul or constantinopol(the present one name is bartolomeus,or bartolomey),but all nation have their own patriarchs and are with independent church or with autonomous church,and the most important ortodox churches are the greek,the bulgarian,the serbian and the russian- in this order by importance ,cause greece have 17 monasteries in aton ,bulgaria,serbia and russia have one each and this shows wich are the most important churches and the bulgarians addopted christianity in 886 ,serbia may be century later and russia about that time
Great information about the Orthodox Church. Thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge!
And both Iceland and Bulgaria another comon think is that they don't have Uber...
We did not realize that. Thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge.
Alexander nevski is a russian ruler a tzar that defeated the teutonic order many centuries ago on an ice lake,where they fell into the water because the ice didnt held the weight of the armored horses and horseman,but the church is build to conmemorate the 200 000 russian soldiers that died liberating bulgaria from ottoman empire.....the title of tzar actually originates from 900s a.d. Bulgaria and simeon the great is our first tzar,while russia adopted the title in the 16th century.....tzar came from the caesar and means emperor in slavic language
Alexander Nevski was a very important man! Thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge with us.
How many times you have to visit Sofia until:
1. Pronounce its name correctly?
2. Learnthe and talk the most important and interesting facts about Nevski?
Realise that general Nevski wrote the music to the ballet "Swan Lake, and Sofia was liberated by Engelbert Humperding and Mighty Pyton.
With all of the numerous false statements you can impres only the olygophrenic viewers that have you as the only source for info.
Educate yourself before shooting stupidities.
