Split Pace

~ Veselin ~ 2 Comments

The hiking split pace announcement triggered Siri today 🙂

I couldn’t reach the bean soup today. This image with Split Pea is the best I could do. The temperature reached 35°C yesterday. I went to the mountain optimistically dressed in a t-shirt, and shorts, armed with a bottle of water, and no backpack, expecting hot weather. Found strong winds, the starting point temperature was 11°C and the destination was 0°C. Gave it a try but couldn’t make it. Stayed within the 10-12°C part of the mountain for about 10km. It was cold. One of the first things I did after coming back was to go to Decathlon and buy a small backpack, a very light wind-proof jacket, and a wool scarf.

Apple Watch is a marvelous device for beginner hikers but perhaps I need to turn off Siri.

PS. The raspberries today were wonderful and properly cooled.

I have mixed feelings about graffiti. I prefer the buildings properly painted but the you find this. It’s cool.

Same place, 3 different points of view. Probably the most hipster area in Sofia that’s not yet conquered by tourists. My lunch had chicken and a bunch of unusual ingredients. Tasted well.
