We took the subway to the airport and rented a car there, picking Petja, her sister Mira, and Sophia. Petja's mom had made us banitsa (filo/feta) and her dad gave us Bulgarian yogurt. After our snack and admiring the bees and chickens next door, we drove about 2 hours southeast to Plovdiv, through the mountains and near the Mediterranean. Plovdiv is built on a hill and boasts Thracian, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Bulgarian ruins.
The most intact is a Roman Stadium discovered in 1970 because of an earthquake.
