Our Lower Danube River cruise made two stops in Bulgaria -- Vidin and Ruse.
We spent most of our time in Vidin visiting the house of a husband and wife to learn how to make a traditional Bulgarian pastry -- Banitsa. They had a lovely property where they grew crops like pears.
This wheelbarrow had clearly seen a lot of use, but still seemed to have some fight left in it.
As we left the dog across the street let us know it was not unhappy to see us go.
Returning to the city, we strolled through town taking in monuments like this one to the victims of the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War.
The road to Constantinople passed through the Stambol Gate of the fortress near the city's central square.
The water where we docked at Port Vidin was perfectly calm, reflecting the puffy clouds floating peacefully by.
If I lived in a city, I'd like to think that I, too, would bike around a lot. Not even to get specific places, just because biking is relaxing.
