On Sunday February 15, we rode on the bus from Istanbul to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. We were met with the cold and rain. Despite having quite miserable weather, Plovdiv is spectacular. On our first full day in town, we walked up to a Soviet statue at the top of a hill and there was an amazing view.

Later that day, I went to a basketball tryout to play with other kids my age -- Dad found the little league on facebook and they let me play for a few days. Over two days of basketball practice, I can see why the Balkans have such good players.

The next day, we walked to an ancient Roman amphitheater and a hippodrome. I really enjoy looking at ancient stuff, but I'm starting to have a fatigue about Roman ruins.

Our whole family got a cold and runny noses this week, but we still managed to get out and walk around. Jane and I walked around this big park on our own, playing basketball and reading our books.

On our last night in Plovdiv, Annie had a cooking class at a restaurant called Farm Bites. We all went to it and ate Annie's delicious meals.

Overall, Plovdiv is in the top three of my favorite places on the year abroad. Tokyo, Foca, and Plovdiv are my favorite stops so far.
