Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people. Travelling alone lots of the time I am never lonely ..there is always the travelblog to keep me company. Planning for future trips and onwards now. Don't let the grass grow under you feet. ... full info

Bulgaria
There are some countries where it's religious paintings give a unique insight into its history and beliefs. This pic seems to give such a peek.

Bulgarian surprise!
Wow, Lynne! What a lovely discovery! I would never have thought of going to Bulgaria, but you have changed my mind! It seems to offer a real discovery opportunity, and the fact that it is affordable is great news! One day........ (grin!). I'm working on getting my leg working better (lots of physio and hydro) so that I will be able to walk well enough to do some more traveling! We will talk about your trip amongst the "girls" tomorrow night. Hugs, Maureen.

Beer
Angie, Lime and mint cider is pretty good, too ....no haven't learnt the word, only know one beer Kaminitza , very hard not to know any of the language and Cyrillic script is pretty much a mystery to me !

So good to see you traveling, writing and exploring again, still. We are eager to go to Eastern Europe. The area is so rich in history. The churches sound lovely. Eager to read more.

Churches
Yes , Dave and MJ, the churches all painted and with icons are fabulous , always good to se something you haven't seen before and this is new to me . Have eaten some great food .. It's more hearty traditional food not gourmet and I know you like foodie pics so will include them in next blog.

thanks for telling us of another place to put on our list of places to see!
Sounds like you have been having a wonderful trip - places that just "happen" on our travels many times are the best in the end. Glad you have friends there to help show you around - that is always a nice way to get an introduction into a new place. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip. Thanks for taking us along with you!
