Hi Bill, Here the weather is very hot in August and almost not rainy. Using cash in Bulgaria is most preferable, cause I am not shure you can use trevellers cheques here. Anyway I think some Banks operate with trevellers cheques. If are you planing to use cash you have to know that there is a lot of burglaries in the country. Is it posible to meet with my father at the end of August?
