We had a free day Sunday and set out to explore Sofia on foot!
Thanks to a suggestion from a fellow adoption friend we took the Free Walking Tour of Sofia. This is 2-3 hour tour highlights the major parts of the City Center. The tour is in English and provided great background on the history of the city. After the tour around 2Pm we located a nice restraunt and enjoyed yet another Bulgarian Pizza and Shopksa salad. Both were very yummy. We enjoyed the warmth (it was a chilly day) of the restraunt for a while and set back out on foot once again to explore the busy streets and storefronts. We ate a treat from a bakery and decided the evening was nice and that the long walk back to the apartment would be nice. We had a great map and found all the roads easily, thanks to Howie's fine map reading skills. We stopped at the market and picked up some water and soda. It was another early night to bed, as tomorrow is a big day!!!!!
We are starting our adventure to the orphanage town around 7:30 AM Monday! The ride is about 90 minutes and we will be making the trip with 2 other families both on the second trip!!! We are soooooo excited to finally meet her :)

So glad you enjoyed your day in Sofia. We left Sofia on Saturday as you were just arriving. We were on our 1st trip. Loved the Shopska salad! Our orphanage was about 90 minutes from Sofia - in Kyustendil. What city is your orphanage in?
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you guys! There is nothing like seeing the face of the child you have waited so long for. My family is praying for you. Remember, Superman was adopted!

I also would like to know what orphanage you are going to as our son is also in Kyustendil. There was a sweet little girl there that we fell in love with and was wondering if you saw her. (Perhaps she is your daughter?) Would love to talk with you via email sometime: traci@ezpzpies.com
