Bulgaria

Despite my habit of breaking posts up into days of travel, I don't have enough time before I leave for Budapest to really delve into Bulgaria. So here are the highlights:

A really pretty church from our sight seeing tour. The inside was even more amazing, but, of course, photos weren't allowed.

Dinner at a Bulgarian BBQ place. Chillin' with my ND peep. Other remarkable dinners included a Moroccan place and an Irish place. And more Bulgarian places, of course.

This is one of the traditional Bulgarian restaurants. Yes, I was selected to dance. Because I'm a hottie.

This is the lady of Sofia. She's dressed rather skankily, but she's a monument of the city.

Some ruins. Now all their ruins are intermixed with their subway system. If in doubt, blame communism.

Our tour guide at the Boyana Church and Tyler. Our Tour Guide's name was Mr. White White. He said things like "Oh, I could talk all night, but how time flies!" He was adorable. The inside of the church was amazing. It's a UNESCO world heritage site. But no photos allowed!

Our hostel. Was freezing cold. The guy who checked us in may or may not have been high. He didn't turn the water heater on...

The symbol of Bulgaria is the lion. The Leva. Also the name of its currency.

The best bar we went to any night. The apartment. It is just like an apartment. With booze. And sexy Jazz music.
