45. Bulgaria - A Spirtual Sactuary & Balkans' Area 51

We are putting New Jersey in our review mirror because this week we are jumping over the pond and heading to the beautiful countryside of the Balkans to cover Bulgaria! Jamie does a masterful job summarizing centries of history of war and shifting territories before diving into some of our favorite adventures while in the country. After his recommendations, Cassidy takes over keeping us in the Balkan countryside as she covers the mysteries of Golyamo Gradishte and the Tsarichina Hole—more commonly referred to as the Balkans' Area 51. Jamie's recommendations: Rilla Monastery Belogradchik Rocks and Fortress Saint Alexander Nevski Cathedral Saint Sofia Church Plovdiv Roman Theater Seven Rila Lakes Prohodna Cave Magura Cave  Cassidy's sources: Vagabond - Bulgaria's English Magazine Vagabond 2 Reddit Mysterious Universe
