Hi Jill, thanks for the shout-out for my proffered link. I love "art walk" stories, and it was great to see the wall art of Bulgaria especially. Now - when it comes to that "furry guy," Chris found (and I note the resemblance -- same goatee!) There is a whole mythology behind this ancient figure! Search Bulgaria Wild Man and you will get a fantastic array of images of men dressed in furry costumes--these are ancient, probably pre-Christian rites still celebrated many countries. You can probably find costumes in local museums. I did a post on the Wild Man in Italy recently. https://medium.com/mature-flâneur/encountering-the-wild-man-in-italy-d7fe64eba2eb'

I'm so enjoying travelling vicariously with you through Bulgaria!
