Sunday 05 March - Day 2
Day 2 - Sunday We woke up for the first time in the winter wonderland that is Borovets. There were a couple sleepy eyes at breakfast (this was to be the case for the rest of the week) but most were looking forward to hitting the slopes for the first ...

WOD Tour in Bulgaria
So we started our 4th of July concert tour in Bulgaria. We played a gig at the US Embassy in Sofia. It's funny, because we had just plays for the ambassador's wife in Serbia two weeks prior. I even got to play the Bulgarian national ...

Grand Sofia
... Sofia kinda sucked. We knew this, plenty of people told us before we left, but its the capitol and I feel like I wouldn't know Bulgaria so well if I hadn't gone. It's also a place that I've wanted to see for some years now. The coolest thing about Sofia ...
