Pleven, Bulgaria

Tuesday, 11/12. Rain, wind. Again. I slept for three hours after breakfast. After lunch we departed on a  tour of the militarily significant Pleven, Bulgaria. We had an ordinary tour of the city center, followed by an extraordinary visit to the War Memorial. I’d read about the 1877 conflict before-hand (which impressed the guide), and the diorama was very accurate. Very much like the one in Gettysburg. It unsurprisingly focused on the victors, but I was able to add my knowledge to fill in the lapsed details.

Dinner was excellent. We participated in an evening of movie trivia, finishing out of the money but doing well anyway.
