The weekend after Melnik, I met Kate and Hillary, the two other girls living in southern Bulgaria, in a small town called Assenovgrad. The town is best known for its fortress and its wine, a special type of Bulgarian wine known as Mavrud. We ate lunch and drank wine under the trees in the town center and then braved the climb to the fortress. It was a gorgeous day, and the view from the ruins of the fortress was stunning. After our foray to the fortress, we grabbed some ice cream and then headed home to our own towns.
