Any good road trip has snacks.

On Sunday morning in Belogradchik when we were looking for coffee and something to eat for breakfast A. spotted these Bulgarian chocolates in a little neighborhood shop--Rodopa and another similar chocolate with white vanilla-like filling. I can't remember the name of the other chocolate. <em>Ops</em>.

So we bought chocolates, two coffees, some packaged croissants, water and some cookies by the gram. (Turns out 100 grams of cookies is a lot more than I'd have guessed. I'm glad I didn't order 500 grams like a standard shopska salad.)

I'd really been hoping for some banititsa but no luck. Instead, I ate a crescent moon shaped cookie with ground almonds in it covered with powder sugar. Then I drank my espresso out of a plastic cup. On the road, I ate half of each chocolate.

I like the Rodopa chocolate best. It almost reminds me a reese's peanut butter cup in terms of the texture and constancy of the candy. The big difference is that the filling is not peanut butter but something thing kind of chocolate like.

Before we got to Magurata cave, I ate a croissant.

Now that I've typed all of this, I can't help but wonder if I should share these things. Oh well. What's done is done.
