Turkish bridge over the Struma River
One of the many Turkish
bridges we saw. This one goes over the Struma river, leading into
Navestyno, where we stopped
to get food for dinner that nite. It was here that we first
realized what an attraction we would be in the small towns of Bulgaria. The
people were
always very friendly when we tried to communicate with them, but their fascination
with
us seemed insatiable. It hadn't dawned on us yet that many of these towns
had never been
visited before by foreigners. Before the fall of Communism, foreigners were
not allowed in.
