I am not going to tell you about last weekends trip to Bansko and Melnik although it was rather pleasant and interesting. Lately, this blog is sounding too much like a “what I did on summer vacation” report. Travel has to be experienced directly; there is no way that words, pictures, or even video can convey the serene yet surreal feeling of standing on a hill top near the Rozhen Monastery on a cold evening and looking out over the sandstone pyramids1 and—in the distance—the snow-capped peaks of the Pirin range bathed in faint light just after sunset. You would just have to be there; so get out there and travel!
1 The “sand pyramids” are a natural formation that the Melnik area is famous for.

Joel i never noticed that u have a soul of a poet......
That tiny little town at the bottom of the hill below Rozhen Monastary was where my car "broke down". I spent a a good couple hours lookingat those same 5 houses until I finally figured out the stupid keylock problem.
