The border at the Danube River is only about an hour from Bucharest. So it was a quick trip. Along the way I was snapping pictures. I wanted to take a good red poppy picture. Well with Roger zipping down the road and only a few poppies growing on the side of the road I did not get the perfect picture but I did take some. They were especially pretty with the purple and white flowers.
On each side of the bridge crossing over the Danube River were columns.
The Danube (Dunăre in Romanian) River begins in German and travels through 10 countries before flowing out into the Black Sea.
We entered Bulgaria. Just wait until you see the Bulgarian written language.
Ruse had many tree lined streets.
Pantheon of National Revival Heroes was built in 1978 while Bulgaria was still under communism rule.
Like many cities, Ruse has a downtown square. In the middle was this statue.
Roger liked lion with the chains.
There were many statues. This one was a memorial but since Bulgarian is a Cyrillic language it was hard to read and understand.
The word "Romania" in Bulgarian and English.
Bulgarian is an interesting language.
We headed back home to Romania on May 18th and with new visas.
