Natural Beauty = 150,000+ Poinsettias

It was really fun to see over 150,000 poinsettias all in one place! Natural Beauty in Denmark has 20 acres of greenhouse inside and an additional 5 acres outside! The daily heating costs are astounding and the beauty of seeing the acres of flowers is breathtaking.

Potluck Dinner Complete with "Authentic" Bulgarian Dancing

What a fun evening that started and ended with beautiful Bulgarian songs. In the middle we ate lots of yummy food and desserts galore... we learned to dance Bulgarian style....
