Antique Market

The antique market was my favorite market in Bulgaria ... There were rows of tables filled with all sorts of treasures including wind-up gramophone records, daggers, Russian military helmets, communist memorabilia, old violins, silver jewelery, religious icon paintings, pins, medals and a whole host of bric-a-brac. I would have liked to have dressed more like a local or have come with a local because I felt the prices escalated when they figured i was a foreigner...I needed papa to help me try and haggle... Aja would not let me buy any old Swords or military helmets. Sometimes kids are just not as cool as their parents. Besides I could have brought one back for Dave to replace the swiss army knife he had taken from his carry on luggage in Hawaii.
