Friday was our big sightseeing day because Saturday we needed to get up early and drive back to Sofia since the boys had a tee time scheduled. It was at a course a little outside the city so they didn't have time to drop me at the hotel, which I was fine with, napping and reading a book in the car. Taylor however was feeling bad so he came and fetched me after the 9th hole and insisted I ride along in the cart. It was pleasant to watch the boys and they seemed to have a good time.
Then it was back to Sofia for one more night exploring the city.
This apparently is the sight of a story I have heard Taylor tell hundreds of times. Apparently while serving in Sofia, he was assigned to find a "cultural" activity for a large group of missionaries to see. He found out that there was a performance of Romeo and Juliet at the National Theatre so he went ahead and bought the tickets. They all showed up the night of the performance and were informed that it was in a small theatre at the back of the real theatre. And when the show started they found out that it was Romeo and Juliet performed by 2 guys. Taylor laughs now at how uncomfortable it was to watch 2 guys acting in love and "rolling around the stage" at one point. And he apparently got teased a lot after that by the other missionaries for picking such a bizarre activity.
And if this is the last of the Bulgaria pictures, it's a fitting one. This is called "Shopska Salata" and I probably ate at least 2 of these each day we were there. They are DIVINE! Fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, red peppers with Cirene cheese and oil. DIVINE!
