Sofia
Arrived in Sofia late morning on a public bus from Veliko Tarnovo. A much prettier city than Bucharest. Wandered around the city taking in the sights for a couple of hours stopping at random market stalls for panitsa (the Bulgarian version of a bourek) with spinach and cheese, then some freshly squeezed orange juice and lastly some coconut ice cream. It's only 31 degrees here but it feels much hotter than that! On the upside, my ...

Time to break the spell
... me with my bags into a taxi and I am whisked away through downtown Sofia to the Vrinda Mission Spiritual Center where he belongs, run by a gracious couple with a new baby boy. I am grateful for the shower that comes before a nap and homemade cream soup. We decide to take a walk after dinner, and blocks go by as we catch up with each other. Then the rain comes, and it pours, and the thunder cracks off of the old bricks of the byzantine and communist podge ...
