Bulgaria (Plovdiv, Sofia)

Welcome to Plovdiv
The 'accomodation agency' that sucked me in for over a week
Marion hard at work
Galia just lounging around
A beautiful river flows through town
And there are lots of nice communist apartment complexes
Not to mention an 'old town' with 'old houses'
And ofcourse throw in a mosque for good measure
Future Bulgaria Airlines pilot training in the park
All aboard the monestary bus
Galia poses under the entrance frescoes
The monestary, a quaint little place
More lovely frescoes
Eggs, cheese, yogurt, and butter... Prescription for a heartattack or Galia's traditional Bulgarian cuisine?
Traditional pig stomach pipe music accompanies dinner
Beer and ice cream with umbrella
'Let's make the American tourist happy' (ice cream round two)
We took the train to Sofia
Galia poses in Sofia
'Follow the yellow brick road... Follow the yellow brick road'
Half space station, half church
'The Ruskies are coming!'
Same Russian church different angle
War time hero memorial flame
Oh yeah, and even a skater's half-pipe
Galia gazes lovingly across the table during our last dinner
Christmas in Plovdiv
Brings rides...
Lights...
And best of all, the Bulgarian Spice Girls!
Looking for the lost wallet
