As I walked out into the street this morning, I saw parked outside the house on the cobblestone road a very old car. It was in mint condition. On the front it had the name Moskvits (мoскьич). I have no idea how old it is. Perhaps some viewer can give some info here on the year of this particular Russian model?

Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.
