We couldn’t do a hike today, so we went on a 2h city walk. Who could’ve imagined the prettiest flowers would be in some bush right outside of the city.

Happy Bulgarian Alphabet Day!
24th of May is the day in which we celebrate the creation of the Bulgarian script, known outside of Bulgaria as the Cyrillic alphabet.
The Byzantine scholars St. Cyril and Methodius craeted the Glagolitic alphabet around 862-863 so they can spread Christianity. According to our schools, it wasn’t too convenient to use. Their students, based in the Preslav Literary School, did multiple simplifications and created the new script based on the Greek letters with some Glagolitic. The result stuck and spread around the globe.
24th of May is an official holiday in Bulgaria. The video above shows the students and teachers from a local school entering the center of Blagoevgrad with their marching band to be later greeted by the president.

The last duck I shared had an incredible success, here’s another one, cruising in the pond.

I hope this duck, swimming with the flow, brings you a few moments of peace.

I only saw one of the gatherings this year and the folks were without their uniforms. But they were as noisy as always. I’m sure the evil spirits ran away.
