Wherever I went, I was surprised to find out how
little was known of my native Bulgaria. And yet
my country has it all - mountains, each
different in character, crystal lakes, wonderful
seaside, amazing remains from its ancient
history, not to speak of the excellent wine and
the friendly people, always ready for a chat over
