Naughty Neighbors February 2005

Our research tells us that Varna is Bulgaria's third-largest city and is a major port for naval boats and shipping. According to the website www.Bulgaria.com, "Sailors on shore leave in unfamiliar ceremonial uniforms mingle with foreign tourists and locals as they promenade along shady boulevards lined by dignified 19th and early 20th century buildings." And, during their travels, they might be lucky enough to run into Rossi, who works in a bakery and is one of Varna's finest natural treasures. So happens, a Neighbors reader walked into her bakery and, several visits later, talked her into taking these pics for NN. "She was reluctant," he said. "But I wore her down."
