Mountains. I was dropped off in a Roma village with this family, the first family we came to in the village. I wanted to collect mushrooms, and this village had a mushroom collecting connection. I entered the Roma community with Bulgarian friends and the mushroom book by my friend, David Arora, All the Rain Promises and More. It is a colorful little book — and importantly there are two pictures of me in the book! It is a sure fire way to find the people who are into mushrooms. So, we found this family, and then I was left for a week to fend for myself. The family was planning on going into the mountains the next day and agreed to take me with them. As it turned out, my Bulgarian-English dictionary was of no use because it seemed everyone was illiterate! So, somehow we muddled by in Roma and in the universal language of empathy.
