Blagoevgrad has several parks where you can make your daily steps, out of which The Cross Path is my favorite. Far enough to make you sweat.
Path to the Cross, Blagoevgrad

Sofia Today
Something in The Myst!
You can’t find me
Discovery is not possible.
The Schmeiser is gone
The monument of the soviet army in Sofia lost its gun. The sculpture is too large and it looks like it will be chopped to pieces rather than removed all at once.
I saw no pro-Russian protesters, which also surprised me. There were statements for the eternal defense of the monument. In the end, it looks like nobody cared enough to stay overnight in the cold for this gigantic gun to remain menacing over the sky.
Looking forward to seeing which piece is removed next.
Reading Challenge
I completed my 2023 reading challenge of 39 books – it is the first more ambitious reading challenge I set for myself in years.

The books that chose me this year were almost entirely light reads – Fantasy, Sci-fi, and a variety of Crime/Thriller.
The highlights of the year for me are:
- Jonathan Moore – Noir/Thriller author who captivated me with a gothic atmosphere and romantic characters (4 books read, all of them in Bulgarian).
- Two Years Before the Mast – a biography from 1840, written with such a strange and infectious optimism that springs out of the pages almost 200 years later.
- 10% Happier by Dan Harris – quite a personal journey into the world of spirituality and meditation with a personal message: “You can scratch your nose as well”.
- The Three-body Problem by Liu Cixin – is a good reminder that Sci-Fi exists and is still fantastic, well at least until you reach the 1000-page third part.
