Modern view of Sofia

Here is a short film (clip) on Sofia created and produced by Alex Rossner, posted on the TurnHere website. We found it when searching the net for things to do in Sofia.

It gives a great view of the "modern" cultural life here in Sofia. Lisa and I still want to go and do some of the things in this video - the hard part is finding where they are at.

Hope you enjoy... http://www.turnhere.com/city/Sofia_Bulgaria/All/films/483.aspx

Return to Boulder River


You may remember an earlier post on the Blog were we went to our near by mountain, Mt. Vitosha, to go play on the “Boulder River.” Many of you thought we “doctored” the pictures – but most boulders are as big as your car or SUV. It is a valley on the mountain where these large to huge boulders all form a river cascading down the mountain. There is actually a water river that flows under the rocks – you can always hear it and at times see it.

Last week we had a 60+ degree day and we knew it could be one of the last nice days before winter set in. Lisa’s cousin, Rachael, is here for a few weeks – so we decided to take her to one of our favorite spots. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. We were so glad we went, because the day following it began to snow. Today, a week later, the top of Mt. Vitosha is now covered in snow. Saddened that we will not be able to play on the rocks for awhile – but excited that ski season is just around the corner!
