Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is blurred in the back. Took this photo during my morning walk today.
The tourist logo of Bulgaria is a rose. We have roses everywhere. The coat of arms is 3 lions. We don’t have lions anywhere out of the zoo. I much prefer encounters with the roses. 🌹
Jay knocked on the window a few times to show me that the cherry tree outside is ready for snacks.
Bulgaria got invited to join the Euro today. Bulgarians are not united on the subject if they want the Euro and the anti-EU political parties are capitalizing that. I witnessed their protest today.
The gathering was lead by a young lad who yelled with full force, like he’s dictating the attack in the Braveheart movie. The hot sun made the movement sluggish.
I had the opportunity to get a signed copy of Julie Kagawa’s The Immortal Rules. It’s very rare to see a popular writer here in Sofia and I’m thankful for the opportunity to see her for a few moments in person.
She’ll also be giving autographs tomorrow afternoon at the Pro Book booth. It is the first tent looking from the pylons of the National Palace of Culture.
The weather was much nicer today, although I somehow messed up the photos and they all look like there was a fog. I visited most of the tents I couldn’t last time. There’s room for one final visit, hopefully for Julie Kagawa’s book signing during the weekend.
Got myself a fourth book. I showed much restraint, I was close to impulse buying books I didn’t plan to read.
