BULGARIA, Rila Monastery

October 14, 2014

Went on a tour to the Rila Monastery about 2 hours out of Sofia. The drive through the mountains was spectacular with the changing of the leaves and magnified when we saw this beautiful monastery nestled in the mountains. The monastery's church was spectacular but unfortunately were not allowed to take pictures. Good day.

BULGARIA, Veliko Tarnova (Tsarevets Fortress)

Built by the Byzantines between the 5th and 7th centuries. It has the remains of over 400 houses, 18 churches, several monasteries and many shops and towers.

ROMANIA, Transfagarasan Highway

Great day driving up this highway with spectacular views especially with the Autumn leaves and small glacier lake at the top.
