The last days of winter
Category: Sofia
Too soon
According to our tradition, we carry a red and white wristband called martenitsa from March 1st to the day the storks arrive or we see a blossoming tree.
It’s too soon. I remember carrying martenitsa until mid April.
Find the cat
I did an evening walk today, trying to catch up after several days under the goal of 10k steps/day. I visited Iztok, a popular and calm neighborhood with good sidewalks. Took exactly one photo, and it has a cat.
I find it difficult to meet my 10k steps goal this year.
What snow?
It’s hard to believe that just days ago we had temperatures of around -10°C.
A whole different question is why I find more life in the bushes outside of the park than within the park where the plants are taken care of. The first photo is within the park, the second is outside.
Happy Holiday, Bulgaria 🇧🇬
I visited a few iconic places today to celebrate the national holiday.
The Nevski Cathedral, St. Sofia with the eternal flame, and King Samuil’s statue.
This is King Samuil, watching if you click like.
The other cathedral, St. Nedelya (we have two), the Largo with the St. Sofia statue in the distance, and the president’s office with the guards.
Vitosha Boulevard, The Palace of Justice (The Court House), and The Parliament, with the Horse, an ancient TV truck, and the Cathedral in the background.
There will be fireworks in the evening. I hope we have a chance to go and watch them in person.
