Independence Day

~ Veselin

Bulgaria celebrates its independence day today. There were no large crowds because Bulgarians tend to use the national holidays as a reason to go somewhere else.

22nd of September was recognized by the mayor of Sofia, the dude with the red tie. There was a small ceremony with guardsmen, orchestra, and folklore singers. The mayor spoke for a few minutes and said something, although not sure what.

And I captured some Bulgarian flags with landmark and not so landmark sites on the way to the event. The 2nd photo is the St Sofia church, which gave the modern name of our city.

Happy Independence Day to us!
