Yambol had nothing to do with the Sofia domes. The waters of Yambol did not look like the Maritsa, nor the Sofia rivers. Vitosha had no equal, but Tundzha was beautiful. If in Sofia a squirrel could jump to your very head, in Yambol a tortoise touched your bare foot. Seahorses and acacias - pink as children"s fingers and golden pollen. Yambol was the city of poets and artists.
