Smolyan, Bulgaria - my site
Here are a few pictures from my site, Smolyan. a beautiful town in the Rhodope
Mountains - absolutely gorgeous!  It was definitely a big change from the flat
Indiana cornfields I was used to!  The people, in general, were a lot friendlier and
more open than in the rest of Bulgaria.  Even other Bulgarian described the Rhodope
mountains as more casual, friendly and laid back.  They were all right!  Within a
month, I knew all my neighbors in my entrance in my apartment block and by that
time, they'd all already pretty much adopted me!  I miss them so much!
