We decided to go for a walk in Yambol's Town Park today. As we plodded out way through the snow we saw the Park's permanent guests, 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. Yambol's Town Park is such a lovely place to be even in below zero temperatures and half a metre of snow.
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.
