Had a lovely day trip to the countrys second largest city. 

I kept running into this gal from Pittsburgh all over Sofia. We both wanted to visit Plovdiv, so we went on a bus. Easy to organize and so convenient.

Plovdiv has lots of Roman ruins, and if I remember correctly, the most complete theater in Bulgaria. The ruins are in much better shape than Sofias.  The old town has bunches of shops with actual handmade junk, just like I love. I bought a beautiful scarf for a certain someone whose name starts with A…….  The old grandma who made it was freakin adorable. 

We were lucky enough to time our visit with the free walking tour.  So neat. I learned some history too.

Altogether great day. Thanks Elaine!
