Bourgas and Nesebar

So, now we are in the town of Bourgas. It is a town on the sea but has a huge port so not much of a beach. There are lots of tankers and other vessels in and out of the port all the time and it looks a bit industrial down by the water. We went down the road a bit to visit the old town of Nesebar. The old part of the town in located on an isthmus in the middle of a bay. There is a functioning four level windmill right outside of the town. It has a house attached (that is the 4 level part)that the keeper lived in. Other floors were for storage and drying fish.
We started in the archaeological museum which had some nice artifacts from the town's Byzantine past. There were also several beautiful icons.

We then took a tour of several of the churches remaining in the town. One of them is now an art gallery and has early examples of the use of the symbol that we now know of as a swastika. Our guide called it a "so-called swastika". It was used as a symbol of the sun in ancient times long before it was used by the Nazis.
There used to be 40 or more churches in this small town as rich land owners tried to outdo each other but there are only about 20 left. Some have been restored while others have not.
We had some free time here to wander the winding streets of the old town which would be more charming if they were not covered with touristy shops.
We returned to Bourgas and a free evening and are off tomorrow for Sozopol and Plovdiv.
