Bulgaria was and still is a crossroads of cultures. Definitely interesting. The Black Sea, summer and no dress codes could be next, as contacts. Here's a few pictures taken in the Natural History Museum.

The museum had different brown bears. The largest was a robust male reaching at least 7.4 (223,52 cm.) on his hindlegs. The others thought he was well over that mark, but that could have been a result of his weight (over 600 pounds). Remember that all measurements were a result of estimates. Reply
