Some pictures from the beginning.

Myself, James and our friend Guilherme from Brazil on our way to Varna.

When we arrived in Varna, we wanted to walk around and stretch our legs from the long plane trip. What better way to do that by taking a walk along the beach :). I had to be careful not to burn or get any tan lines because I really don't want to have funny marks showing when I wear my beautiful costumes. A funny story, Guilherme was taking pictures of the beach and when we were looking through the pictures, it is so beautiful that he had not even noticed that he had taken a picture of a topless woman!!!!
