Varna Bulgaria all information found at the Bulgaria wikipedia
The first stop I am going to be talking about is Varna Bulgaria. Varna is on the coast of Bulgaria. Did you know that The population of Varna is 334,763?
In Varna there are different sports like there is in pretty much every country. One of the sports they have here in Varna is called football does it sound familiar? Another sport that they have in Varna is called cricket you may have heard of it. Cricket is a bat and ball game. In the center of the cricket field is a 22 yard long rectangle. In the rectangle there are there stumps. One team called the batting team tries to get as many runs as they can. When the batters are doing that the other team fields.
Did you know the president of Bulgaria is Rosen Plevneliev? The bulgarian government is a democracy. The government that we have is also a democracy.
Well it has been fun exploring Varna but I need to move onto my next stop.

Balkan Mountain Range
Nov. 19 2016 Balkan Mountain Range
The third place I’ll be telling you about is the Balkan Mountain Range next to Sofia Bulgaria. The Balkan mountain range is in the center of Bulgaria. The different types of rock that build up the mountain are granite, gneiss and limestone. Did you know that the Bulgaria is not the only country that the Balkan mountain belongs to it, also belongs to Serbia?
There has been many battles that take place at the Balkan Mountain(not anymore). Most of the battles have been between the Bulgarians and the Byzantine empires. There has been many very famous battles there for the Bulgarians like the Rishki Pass and the battle of Tryavna and so on.
The Balkan mountain range has lots of wildlife. Like Dear, Bears,dazzling flowers, sometimes even Big Cats and so on. The Balkan has lots of cool nature.I Really do think visiting Bulgaria is not a waste of time!!!!

Sofia Bulgaria
The Fourth stop I am going to be telling you about is Sofia, Bulgaria. Did you know that Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria? The population of Sofia is 1,222,000 people. One thing that I have seen In Bulgaria is when people nod their head they mean no, and when they shake their head in what in America is saying no it means yes in Bulgaria. Another thing that the people of Sofia do is called fire dancing, what fire dancing is when a person called a fire dancer, dances barefoot on a bed of embers.
In sofia some foods are somewhat close to what we eat like…... minced meat and rice stuffed peppers. And other foods are very different to what we eat like……
“Tarator” and that dish is a cold soup made of yogurt with some minced cucumbers like dill and garlic. But most of Sofias food is somewhat like the food we eat .
I think that Bulgaria is a great place to visit. It has nice sunny weather. Delicious food. And many things to learn about like the Bulgarian language. I really do think you should visit Bulgaria!! But after you have learned Bulgarian but I really think it is worth it! Well I better go and catch my flight back to Minnesota.:)
