Cris and I went on an adventure on Tuesday. We went to Bulgaria! We got four pretty new stamps in each of our passports, and spent an afternoon in Oryahovo, Bulgaria. From our short time there, it seemed similar to Romania, except the signs used letters that we didn't understand. Bulgaria uses a Slavic alphabet, and they have symbols that look like a backwards N and a 3 as part of their alphabet, along with many other characters I can't make with me keyboard.
Anyways, we didn't know how to say any of it. It was interesting. We also got to ride a ferry across the Danube, which is a really big river. Razvan was our guide and driver and friend through the whole trip. He really served us. He espically served us with his language skills in Bulgaria when he started speaking English to buy a ferry ticket on the Bulgarian side.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Judging by the pictures, I think I like Romania better. But more stamps for the passport is always a plus!!
