These guys are no different from chimney houses. Don't know who is worse off between them and the Italians.
Bloody hell!
During yesterday's food tour, I tried ayran, a drink made from Bulgarian yoghurt. It tasted like a salty Fanyogo.
It was interesting to learn that Bulgarian yoghurt is special as the main bacterium, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, is native to the region& has a high probiotic content.
It was interesting to learn that the Damask rose is Bulgaria's national flower.
The flower is highly valued for the rich rose oil it produces. Bulgaria is also a leading global supplier of quality rose oil.
Day 2 in Sofia had me walking its streets, learning about life in communist Bulgaria in The Red Flat, going back for a second helping of the Bulgarian snack, lyutenitsa with toast and attending Mass in Bulgaria's largest Catholic church, Cathedral of St Joseph.
A 10/10 day.馃グ
Due to Sofia's location on natural geothermal mineral springs (little wonder the Romans loved it), you can get warm mineral water from the Ancient Hot Spring of Serdica in the city.
Last night, our guide joked that it also cures broken hearts & one lady had another sip.馃槀
Hi from one of Europe's oldest capital cities: Sofia.
I loved learning about its rich history that blends Thracian, Roman, Ottoman & Soviet influences in the Balkan Bites Food Tours & Free Sofia Walking Tour.
It was also lovely to see the ruins of Serdica, the ancient Roman...
Two years ago, I took my first flight out of the UK and what a journey it has been.
To more flights, stamps and memories!馃
I'm grateful for the gift of people.
I spent most of yesterday catching up with my homegirls and replying messages and it was the sweetest thing.
Truly, as my people will say, mmadu ka.馃グ
It's been 31 amazing years of God's faithfulness through the seasons.
I'm a girl whose mouth is full of praise and I'm ever so grateful.
Happy birthday, Adajoe!
To more memorable years, laughs, stamps (of course) and everything beautiful!馃
Today is Mission Sunday and a perfect reminder for us to bear witness to our Christian faith with our lives.
Happy Sunday!馃グ
