Thank you so much for the information and also for digging into the archives. How in the world did you find this post?

Some one resteemed your post, I forget who. I'm curious about Eastern Europe, which is so neglected from the skewed Western Perspective.
Great! I am back posting about my Bulgaria trip if you want to see more. I'm currently in the middle of a series on Belogradchik.
My friends marvel that I keep returning to BG and can't believe I travel alone. They think it's so remote and exotic and wonder if I am ever scared. I reassure them that not everyone is a terrorist, there aren't evil Russians hiding in all the bushes and most people really do want to help you get where you need to go. ;) Yes, I agree, Eastern Europe is quite a mystery to most people I know.
Sadly it is the Western hype... one that has existed as far back as when the Roman empire split between Rome and Constantinople.
