2005 BALKANS TOUR

Ben Oostdam

Plovdiv
BULGARIA
On the way back, I passed numerous Baroque houses and took photos of murals, Leda and Swan and various people in the park near the square, but as said before, without avail ;o]
"THE OLD PLOVDIV"
by Tzanko Lavrenov
I took another break till about 20:00, then went for dinner in a restaurant garden near the center, where pretty waitresses vied to serve me and I took another bunch of picts, including of the unavoidable starving cats.
Fortunately, I had sent home a postcard (below)which nicely caught the atmosphere of my walks to-day, as does the painting by Lavrenov (above)
