We were in Dobrich for 2 days staying downtown. Dobrich closed down on Sunday and the streets were near empty, but livened up on Monday. The city was small with charming restaurants and cafes. We had a concert at the Hall of Mirrors on Monday; the audience was small but very receptive. Not a whole lot else to say about Dobrich.
After an 8 hour bus ride and a sketchy pit stop and lunch shared with flying friends, we arrived in Plovdiv where we had a long steep climb to our "hotels" with our luggage and guitars. Some of us are at the Plovdiv Guest House, which isn't bad without considering the bunk beds and combined toilet/shower restrooms. Others are at the Lamartine House, which is a beautiful early 19th century mansion with 19th century furniture, bedding, plumbing, and no air circulation.
Plovdiv is a gorgeous town, divided into distinct old and new sections. It is a different experience walking among the shops and running into ancient ruins of the Roman theaters. The cobblestone streets and authentic and easy to get lost in. The new downtown is vibrant and has cute street entertainers such as a puppeteer and mime. We will be playing a concert here on Friday and are expecting a large audience due to the posters we are running into for our concert on the streets.
