More of the Rose Valley of Bulgaria
The Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak
The tomb is part of a large royal Thracian in the Valley of the Thracian Rulers near their ancient capital of Seuthopolis in a region where more than a thousand tombs of royalty and members of the Thracian aristocracy can be found.
The monument dates back to the fourth century BC and has been on the UNESCO protected World Heritage Site list since 1979. The paintings in this small tomb are Bulgaria’s best-preserved artistic masterpieces from the Hellenistic period.
The site consists of a narrow corridor leading to a round, domed chamber of the size required for the burial. Both are painted and decorated with murals representing a Thracian couple at a ritual funeral feast.The murals were created in fresco. The walls were painted with a sanguine or dark reddish color.
To preserve the delicate paintings, the tomb is not open to the public, however, a full-size and exact replica was built nearby for public access
The photos taken with my phone are much paler than photos on the Internet or on TV. Sometimes there is frustration because of the difference between photoshop and reality.

The Russian Church. Temple - monument to Russians who died in the Russo-Turkish war of 1878. Bulgaria has a very controversial history with Russia and the USSR. In the country, half of the streets are named after Russians, and in every city there are various Russian or Soviet monuments. Of course, today there is a lot of opposition to these historical remains.

Lately I feel the exercises very well. Especially the unilateral exercises with slow execution. I feel that heavy sets no longer satisfy me and I have completely excluded them from the program.

Rose museum, Kazanlak
*The only museum in the world, dedicated to the oil-yielding plant – rose. *
The rose is one of the symbols of Bulgaria.
Rose-picking in Bulgaria is conducted during May. It starts early in the morning when the blooming rose flower is poured with dew which preserves the rose oil and is essential for the extraction of the plant oil.
*The Bulgarian rose oil has exceptionally high quality. Even to this day, due to its high quality, the Bulgarian rose oil is still one of the most preferred raw materials by the French perfume producers.
The museum is In the shape of a closed circle like a doughnut

That’s really cool. Thanks for all those pictures in the museum; somewhere I hope to visit someday.
My Kazanlak rose plant grows like crazy. Maybe next year I’ll try to distill some oil.
These are a few flowers from earlier this year.
This is the plant, today. I already trimmed off the right side so I could get through the gate. Left alone, I think it would grow at least 3 meters every direction.

Wow, that’s amazing! I’ve never seen a rose with so many leaves and foliage lol what are you doing to them?
Unfortunately, you will need hundred kilos of flowers for fair amount of oil. But you could do some rose water.
The Bulgarians became so good at distilling rose oil in the past because they used their “rakia” stills. (like a whisky still. Rakia is fruit spirits or fruit brandy (40%)
You can try this approach

There will be high calories again this week. I’m on my period again and very hungry. I don’t eat sweets or junk, I just eat more home made food. I’m craving nuts and tahini. But I hold back because they are insanely high in calories and I eat at least 100 grams each.
No matter what, I feel strong, thick and healthy.

My grossly corrupt director has now been permanently fired. 
He literally went into hiding for several months, avoiding justice, working behind the scenes. He sent complaints to other institutions, begged his influential friends, threatened. Alas, the political situation is no longer on his side. The woman who has been replacing him for the past few months has been reappointed again for another six months. The difference in management is huge. Personally, for me, the attitude is much more relaxed and businesslike. I even miss this previous torture
