Lunar Festival of Lights in Sofia

Such a cool project which made the whole city come alive with art and light. The perfect way to forget for a few moments about the pandemic, war, and impending recession.

Working in the National Library today

And I found a great article about Alexandra Kollontai!

Sofia in a can...

I love these little pony cans of Sofia sparkling rosé. What a perfect invention for the holidays. Yum. And they are named after my favorite city in the Balkans.

Twenty years ago in Sofia

I found this photo from the summer of 1999 in Sofia. It is scary to think that two whole decades have gone by so fast.

Sofia, Bulgaria

Since Bulgaria holds the rotating presidency of the European Council, the center of Sofia looks gorgeous, especially the the areas around the National Palace of Culture where the Council is meeting.  In over 20 years of visiting Sofia, I've never seen this area look so nice.  

A beautiful May evening in Sofia.
