Eastern Europe
The first part of our trip was in Bulgaria James Pardew, the US ambassador to Bulgaria at the time, and his wife and our friend, Kathy Pardew.
Sofia, Bulgaria
Zkoprovshtitsa, Bulgaria
Koprivshtitsa is one of the most characteristic Bulgarian towns, huddled in the mountain-folds just 111 km east of Sofia. The town is a cultural and historic reserve encapsulating the atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival period of the 19th century.
