"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, and… warm cheese banitsa were just a few of my favorite things as I traveled through little-known Bulgaria. Our group, which included folk dancers, musicians, and singers, danced through the country--on mountain tops, in hotel lobbies, taverns, and folk festivals between visits to historic sites." Carol Karels

"The Koprivshica Festival. The festival took place on seven stages in as many meadows, each of which was devoted to a particular region of Bulgaria. I spent all of Saturday, the second day of the event, going from one stage to another, sampling the different cultural areas. I began with Stage 6, which featured the groups from the Pirin and Rhodope Mountains, my favourite musical, dance and costume regions." Anne-Louise Shaffner
