England? Big Ben or Tower Bridge. France? That&#8217;s easy! Eiffel Tower. Germany? Brandenburg Gate. Bulgaria? &#8230; Bulgaria? What&#8217;s the global symbol of Bulgaria? Until a month ago I would have had no clue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2301\" src=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_180331.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_180331.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_180331-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_180331-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_180331-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/>To be honest I found the horseman a bit anticlimactic. Yes, I understand that it was carved here 1300 years ago, and that&#8217;s cool, but I think I was expecting something a little larger (that&#8217;s what she said).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2303\" src=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154126-e1529766525639.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1960\" height=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154126-e1529766525639.jpg 1960w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154126-e1529766525639-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154126-e1529766525639-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154126-e1529766525639-933x1920.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1960px) 100vw, 1960px\" \/>The climb up to the Roman fortress was fantastic, though! The cliffs reminded me of the album cover of Yes&#8217;s Relayer album. It wasn&#8217;t the first time, and wouldn&#8217;t be the last, I wished I had some acid with me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2305\" src=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154434-e1529766575742.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1960\" height=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154434-e1529766575742.jpg 1960w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154434-e1529766575742-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154434-e1529766575742-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154434-e1529766575742-933x1920.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1960px) 100vw, 1960px\" \/>The steps were everything I&#8217;d read. Pretty steep, and a lot of them. Really fun!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2306\" src=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154141.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"1960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154141.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154141-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154141-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_154141-1920x933.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/>You know, sometimes views are views. The photo doesn&#8217;t really capture it. It was cool, though! Really windy, too, which added to the experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2307\" src=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_155536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"1960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_155536.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_155536-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_155536-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mwehle.eu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180623_155536-1920x933.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/>The fortress was kind of odd. Obviously the walls had been added to, and there was no explanatory information. The climb up and back down was really fun, though, and without a Roman fortress of some kind at the top you couldn&#8217;t really climb to a Roman fortress now could you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So if you asked me to name a world-famous symbol of the US, I&#8217;d say Statue of Liberty, or Empire State Building.
