Sofia: History abounds

Being in the midst of artefacts from the 3rd century. Old stuff was all around and it teemed with history and so much beauty. 

State vs church. 

Walking until our feet refused to move.

Spanish in Bulgaria… the siesta has to be used.

Paying to shoot in an Orthodox church. Just in time to witness a baptism… the cutting of hair, the mini procession. the singing. the camaraderie between priest and kid. The smiling kid that changed from clothes to towel to white vestments.

The relationship between priest and family. So genuine. So touching.

Cancelling a reservation on finding a chatty waiter. Charming city. Charming people.
