Our time in Sofia has come to an end. It’s been a great six weeks and we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. We’re moving on to Plovdiv, which is also in Bulgaria. The people in Sofia have been very friendly and most of them speak English – especially the younger generation. It makes visiting the city much easier for Americans.
Note: Saying “Ciao” might not seem to be Bulgarian but it is a common way to say goodbye here.
