Sights of Plovdiv

I got a chance to tour the city of Plovdiv, one of the oldest cites in Europe. It had many, many beautiful sights, including a view of the sunset from one of the hills in the city center. The smells of Dönners and the bustle of 600,000 made it for a feast for all the senses, especially the eyes. Vast Roman ruins have been uncovered here and the city is taking measures to keep them well preserved. The ancient city wall has also been restored in many places and the homes of the "Bulgarian Renaissance" have been restored to give an idea of what they looked like in the late 1800s after Bulgaria gained independence from the Turks. Look for more photos as I have time.
