Bulgaristan is Bulgaria in Turkish.
A group of wanderers. Look at those wide and smooth sidewalks! Swoon! You could roll a stroller down those!
We saw a few donkey driven carts in the small towns we passed to get to Sofia. Good as transport as any, I suppose.
Another common sight in the small towns were locals set up with produce stands. If those are tomatoes, they're mighty large tomatoes.
A typical Bulgarian village dwelling. Some were nicer. Most were not. At least the ones on the roadside.
The Shopska Salad. A thing of delicious beauty. This was the most beautiful one in town. Typical ingredients are cucumber, tomato, peppers, shredded cow's milk cheese.
Sofia has a wonderful evening restaurant/cafe culture.
The view from our pensione. That's the mountain in the background. I dream of it snow-capped.
Requisite picture of the Nevsky cathedral. If you do an image search for Sofia, Bulgaria, you will be rewarded with a thousand pictures of this cathedral. It is very solemn and beautiful inside. We saw a Moskvitch for sale on this street and really wish we could have brought it home with us to Turkey. What is a Moskvitch? Why it's one of these!:
Thank you for the blog post and pictures of your trip. You have such great food pics. Love it all!
