A Few Photos from Bulgaria

I'm nearly four weeks in to a five-week research trip across Bulgaria and been too distracted by collecting the pesky rabotne vreme (working hours) of cafes, banks and museums to blog much. Though I did manage to make to the BEST BAR OF ALL TIME today. Not far from the seat of the Bulgarian government, a heavy metal bar. Tiny, with red-and-black sign, and hanging banners -- for Pantera, Priest, Motorhead alongside a carefully graphed score sheet for the 'Storm Riders Table Football Club,' some of whom were crowding the FIVE foosball tables as make-up-off KISS, AC/DC and various late '80s metal played. The bartender looked like 1987 Slayer -- and it was a woman.
