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.
