I thought we'd entered a National Geographic magazine when we entered this town. Our driver moved off the road for a sheep farmer herding his sheep home and again for a dairy farmer herding his cows to the barn. These guys were great, anxious for the picture!https://widerthanamile.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/omimi5jpg-0db990c8125a746f_medium-web.jpgomimi5jpg-0db990c8125a746f_medium-WEBhttps://widerthanamile.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/mimiclercy_hughes_10_2-web.jpgOur kayak can barely be seen as we leave Svishtov for Stilpiste.https://widerthanamile.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/mimiclercy_hughes_09-web.jpgThe Chief of the Svishtov river police greets us.
