I went to Plovdiv last week. Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria, and it’s about an hour and a half from Pavel Banya by bus. It is nice. Almost makes me jealous of the volunteers there, but I really do like my little town. Anyway, you know what you can get in Plovdiv?
1. Peanut butter. I found it in a health food store!!!
2. Tofu. Didn’t buy any, though, as it’s rather a schlep, and it was very hot.
3. CHEESE. cheesecheesecheese! I found a fancy meat and cheese shop in the city center. They had brie and cheddar and gouda and…everything! Yes, it was too hot to carry around cheese for a few hours, but you know that when it cools down, I will be back. Oh yes, cheese, you will be mine.
I also went to BILLA, the closest approximation of an American supermarket in Bulgaria, where I bought rice cakes from Hungary, and they are a nice treat with my peanut butter.
So, things are pretty good.
