| This Aug. 28, 2012 photo shows walk near Alexander Nevsky Church in Sofia, Bulgaria. The church is one of Sofia's most recognizable landmarks. A visit to Bulgaria can alternately feel like taking like a step back in time and witnessing a society that has modernized at warp speed. Mules and Ferraris share the freeways. Near a store selling Prada and Versace clothes, old women peddle handmade crocheted doilies and embroidered tablecloths. Dilapidated Soviet-style apartment buildings teem with people, as does a sparkling new shopping mall. (AP Photo/Coralie Carlson)
