Hey Friends and Family, don’t worry about me, I am going to be MIA for the next two weeks or so traveling around the country side. I’ll check in if and when I can. Sorry to leave you hanging but I am not taking my laptop–only a small backpack. I am sure that I’ll have [...]

Graffiti Removal
Posted in Living Life, tagged Bulgaria, Graffiti, Sofia, subway on April 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Look at what I saw recently. This poor guy is water blasting (I just make this term up) graffiti of the wall of a subway (pedestrian underpass).
He’d clearly been working on the removal for a long time when I saw him. There was lots of standing water and the stairs were on the slippery side. [...]
Happy Day!

I am thrilled to announce that my MoM and my Aunt will be coming to visit me at the end of June for a visit! I didn’t think that it would work out given the state of the economy and a few other factors but I was (happily) wrong. And talk of their visit has [...]
Bulgarian Karaoke

Last night my friend I. invited me to a costume party at Sofia University. I went and had a great time: costumes, dancing, wine–it’s a pretty good mix anyway you look at. The thing is, I am horrible at putting a costume together in the States with a range of clothing in my closet so [...]
Sofia City Art Gallery
Posted in Culture, Having Fun, Museum, tagged art gallery, Bulgaria, Musuem, Sofia on April 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Loved it. The Sofia City Art Gallery has three great exhibitions up right now (and one of the best museum/gallery websites in Bulgaria I’ve seen). The thing is I think that the exhibitions I saw today are all closing soon (April 26th). So go this weekend or you’ll be sad that you missed it. Oh [...]

It’s your lucky day. This is the second piece in a regular segment for my blog: How-to-Tuesdays. Here I will give you a run down on how to do something new–related to my life in and around Bulgaria. Check out last week’s how to which is a great recipe for roasting egg plant in the [...]
Orthodox Easter Celebration
Posted in Culture, Having Fun, Living Life, People watching, tagged Bulgaria, Easter, Orthodox, Sofia on April 20, 2009 | 5 Comments »
On Saturday night, I stayed up late and then about 11:30pm I made my way to the Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church (on Graf Ignatiev). I bought a candle from a man selling them on the street and began to get excited about the holiday. The service starts at 12 midnight but even by 11:30pm there was [...]
Easter’s in the Air
Posted in Culture, Having Fun, Living Life, tagged Bulgaria, Easter, Kozunak, Orthodox, Sofia on April 18, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I didn’t know that by moving to Bulgaria that I’d get to celebrate Easter twice. Lucky me. Growing up a Protestant, I knew that some religious holidays were fixed (say Christmas Eve) and I knew that others moved around (say Easter). I had a vague sense that Easter was tide to the moon and some [...]
Friday Finds: Paradise Garage
Posted in Having Fun, Shopping, tagged Boutique, Bulgaria, Sofia on April 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Maybe six weeks ago on my way to meeting friends at JJ Murphy’s (yes, the Irish pub), I walked by a great shop in Sofia–Paradise Garage. It was closed and I made a mental note that I wanted to go back and check it out during the day. Well, it took me about four weeks [...]
Bulgarian Wine
Posted in Having Fun, tagged Bulgaria, wine on April 16, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Today I was out and about running some errands. At some point, I was struck by the thought that today would be the perfect day to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine. The sun is out with only a few clouds in the sky, it’s not too hot and the city seems to [...]
