"Could've Been A Plovdiv."

Yes.  It's sad, but true.  We didn't know about Plovdiv before arriving into Bulgaria, but it quickly became our favorite city of the country.  We had big expectations for Sofia, but as always it was the unexpected that delivered.  Plovdiv was just cool.  Its ancient Roman ruins scattered throughout its old town - living in harmony with the modern shops and cafes.  It goes to show that there's a lot more to a country than its Capitol.  We left Bulgaria remembering the great food, peaceful Rila and cool old Plovdiv.
