Vitosha
Sofia has many hearts. Vitosha is one of them. It’s visible from everywhere and shares its chill with the city.
I’ve had several brief periods in which I’d actively hike. I’m not sure if I’m getting back into this hobby. It feels much harder than the previous times, almost unsustainable. Took me 5 hours to get to the top and back, which is not much but then the day was over. Messes up with the weekend schedule.
On the bright side, they serve bean soup at the top. I love beans.
Achievement
My daily walking goal is 10k steps.
This is me in the bus after my longest hike in a decade of tracking (but not hiking).
At 45, doing this is no longer a matter of willpower for me. It’s a result of all the daily walks over the last 1.5 years. I’m happy and tired. Also, my phone is full of photos worth posting.
I wish I never stopped hiking, resuming is tough.
Nezabravka
Forget-me-not in Bulgarian is Nezabravka. I’m not sure how the plant got the same name in very different languages but here we are:
Lilly
This thing exists in my neighbourhood, covered with concrete and asphalt, and besieged by cars. It’s a shy White Lilly, according to my Picture This app. ❤️
