The ruins looked so beautiful, I had to find out about where they were.  

This is a quickie partial look.
Think it might take some time for me to understand all these people involved in this one tiny region.  It's still all a blur to me when it comes to the Greeks, Bulgarians etc.

For some reason, my brain shuts when I look at Greek names. They don't feel comfortable to me ... it's an effort.

But I'm getting very accustomed to the script. It's very much like Russian (that I do lots of look-ups on), and it's not intimidating anymore.
