Bansko
Bansko was amazing. I learned the Bulgarian horo dance, had Bulgarian French toast with fresh blueberry jam, bought a new hat, and stayed up drinking with good friends. The view every morning was breathtaking, and the town was filled with history.
It also didn’t hurt that I won some money from poker that night. I still got it.
On Day 3, we headed to the town of Plovdiv, an old Roman merchant center along the Silk Road. I saw Roman ruins for the first time of my life, and it’s amazing to think that I was walking on thousands of years of history.
We headed to Bansko that night, a famous ski town, and had amazing wine, food, and company. Definitely a highlight of the trip being serenaded to.
