We went through Bulgaria on the way to Turkey on our motorcycles and we ended up going south because of the rain. We decided to check out the monastery out of interest and fell in love. The entire south of Bulgaria was amazing, and we ended up staying a week instead of just passing through.

I never thought that Zograf was so interested in the Judgment Day Subject. It turns out most of those sweet faces are actually in great trouble.

The museum was small, but excellent. The people were friendly, and the fry bread behind the monastery was a hoot. I hope you are having an great time.
