Some visitors might look down on the pictures displayed here. I do not worry about that, the point of this blog is to give a flavour of Yambol as it is on a day-to-day basis. It's not the prettiest city, but has a personality unlike many other cities and towns. Change is the name of the game here, so pictures you see now will be dated very soon now that Bulgaria is in the EU.

The Greek Goddess Diana in Yambol's Diana Park

Teh Greek Goddess Diana in Yambol's Diana ParkWe decided to go for a walk in Yambol's Diana Park today. As we plodded out way through the snow we saw the Park's namesake, the Greek Goddess Diana's statue and her hunting dog astride. The Bulgarian's have adopted her as an emblem of Yambol, perhaps because they are so fond of hunting here. It is a fine bronze statue of bronze that stood out in the white background of snow. Diana Park is such a lovely place to be even in below zero temperatures and half a metre of snow.
