"Bulgaria and Balkan Wanderings" in Berkley, Michigan

The Berkley Public Library in Michigan, USA, will host an event focusing on the love for Bulgaria as a Balkan destination. The presentation on Bulgaria and Balkan Wanderings by Mariya Fogarasi. The event and will take place on February 24 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.

‘How can such a small country lay claim to having the oldest city in Europe?’ - the library writes on its website. - From supplying the world’s perfume industry with 85% of its rose oil to honoring two monks, Cyril and Methodius, who invented the Cyrillic alphabet, Bulgaria might not top the list of European travel destinations, but it merits a visit at any time of year. Mariya Fogarasi will share her love of this Balkan country along with a few outings to surrounding points of interest."

The announcement notes that the event is sponsored by the Friends of the Berkley Public Library.

Ms Fogarasi is a Bulgarian living in the US who gives lectures on Bulgaria at various cultural institutions.
