In Rumelia

Varna/Shumen Scrapbook

Today I drove with G (my host in Varna) all the way to Shumen to see the second largest mosque in the Balkan area (pictures from that will come tomorrow). We had some nice conversations on the drive over there, and I managed to snap a few pictures every once in a while.

Varna's port has now become fully commercialized, with touristic beaches situated further away for the summertime rush
