Bulgaria

I took a lovely four day trip to Bulgaria back in July. Home-base was the capital city, Sofia. Though it was extremely hot the time we were there - it didn't stop us from trotting through town. Water bottle in hand, we walked through the small streets and the main promenade. I am so grateful for my friend suggesting an escape. We did not waste a minute - we ran through the city, visiting churches, the synagogue, and the local flavor.
