A Few Other Notes...

The food in Bulgaria is absolutely the best... especially the fruit, it's awesome. And the coffee, it's espresso that you can put cream and sugar in if you want. It's just awesome. I'm loving it food-wise here.

Tryavna

This is the Sokolski Monastery. We took a day trip there on Saturday. It is extremely beautiful. This particular day also happened to be a "name day" (Bulgarians celebrate name days like we celebrate birthdays) for everyone who has the name Maria (I hope this is accurate...) in honor of the Virgin Mary.

I really like this picture. It's around the center of town in Tryavna. Bob, this one's dedicated to you, because of course as you know, "there's no color in Bulgaria."
