Today we went out exploring in Sofia. But before that we had breakfast at our hotel. When we went down to breakfast they gave me a red rose and said, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Today is Mother’s Day in Bulgaria!
After breakfast we went out for a walk. We started at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral and then went to the Bulgarian Orthodox Cathedral.
Next we went to the Art Museum and the Regional History Museum.
When they were building the Metro station that we came into last night, they discovered the archaeological ruins of Serdica, the Roman Town that was in this location in the 4th century AD.
On our way back to our hotel we stopped for coffee on Vitosha Blvd., the main pedestrian street of Sofia. it was packed with people. I’m sure that was at least partly because it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and also Mother’sDay.
For dinner we went to a nearby traditional Bulgarian Restaurant called Izbata II. the food was really good and everyone was friendly.
