Bulgaria: Rila Monastery to Plovdiv

Today I made a number of sketches in the bus as we drove between Rila Monastery and Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second city which is home to many artists.  You can probably tell the road was bumpy.  We had a wine tasting at Bessa Valley wines which was delicious.  I also painted an icon from St Alexander Nevski cathedral (St Andrew).  Always helps to have a sketchbook when photos aren't allowed.
