Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
First hiking achievement post in 3 weeks. I reached Cherni Vrah and had beans there. The beans were nice.
I took a longer path to the top, which was obscured by endless blueberries š« and occasional raspberries.
Iām surprised nobody ate them before me.
And this is Sofia. Or at least Sofia is visible.
The Petralona Cave is a nice place to visit in Halkidiki. We went there on a hot weather day rather than on a rainy day, which was the original plan. The kids wanted to see a Minecraft cave and didnāt want to wait for the rain. They were right, it didnāt rain.
Iāll bring them to a wilder cave somewhere in Bulgaria.
First visit to my favorite Starbucks in a few weeks.
We spent some of the hottest days of the year in Halkidiki. It was a nice break from the routine and the kids enjoyed it. The water was great this year. The area around Nea Kallikrateia is rural, with endless beaches, beach houses, olive trees, abandoned lots, and tavernas that offer grilled food, eggplants, and zucchini.
The only hiccup was when I took the wrong road to a restaurant and the car got stuck in the sand. I tried digging out but it didn’t work and needed to be towed out. Another car got stuck in the same place the moment I drove out. The driver didn’t see me waving at them to stop. We dug them out, and this time waved harder to prevent a third car from entering the sandy road. That evening we couldn’t reach the restaurant but had an off-road adventure.
