Koprivstica, Bulgaria

I arrived in Bulgaria yesterday afternoon and met with my old friend Ilian. As Saturday is a work day here, he was busy today and instead asked a friend if I could join them on a trip out of town. Ilian's friend is Simeon and his wife Etsuko, who own a Bulgarian restaurant in Tokyo and were back in Bulgaria for a few weeks this spring.

We hit the road at 8 AM to visit a town a couple hours outside of Sofia called Koprivstica. It is a beautiful trip, into the hills outside the capital to the village known for its cobblestone streets and colorful buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It was perfect weather and I really enjoyed being out a city for the first time in a couple of weeks.
