At the end of Greg's assignment as IMF resident representative in Madagascar
we settled in Emi's home town of Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria.
The family left Madagascar end-July, and Emi and Greg left end-August.
 Our hearts were overflowing with sadness for having to say goodbye to the many wonderful friends
we left in Madagascar. Nevertheless we are happy and grateful for the abundant love
we were receiving all our three years there.





A big farewell party in our garden for the children and their grandparents before
they left for Bulgaria, July 2003.

In November we all went to Israel to visit the Bahá'í Holy Places and World Center
in Haifa and its environs.  It was a wonderful, spiritually refreshing trip.

 
In late November we went to California to stay with Greg's 95-year-old mother Joyce.
Here we are оn December 30, 2003, with Greg's dad Arthur and his wife Betsy,
