View from our hotel. The black schmutz is a result of crap on the window.

–
Some of the wild dogs of Sofia, sleeping in the park.
–

We let them lie. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?)

–
Angel of commerce, downtown Sofia.
–

What? Not ALL the relics of Communism are eyesores. SHEESH. Capitalist jerks.

–
Wrought-iron gate at the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
–

Not only is it pretty – it keeps the packs of wild dogs out, which is nice.

–
Rand gets contemplative (near the Russian church).
–

Mostly, we were contemplating why it was so damn cold.

–
Public fountain near the NDK – the National Palace of Culture.
–

I’m too mature to make a comment about “Ginormous balls”. Oh, wait … No. No, I’m not.

–
This is not a pipe.
–

It’s actually several of them.

–
Rusted gate near a church in downtown Sofia.
–

I’m not sure what this says, but I’m pretty sure it has something to do with The X-Men.

–
Forbidden peanut. Look familiar? This guy last made an appearance in #7 of my somewhat naughty pics from London. It somehow went rogue, migrated to my purse, and traveled with me to Bulgaria. Where, maybe, JUST MAYBE (I’m so not admitting to anything) I thought about eating it BECAUSE HOW GREAT OF A STORY WOULD THAT BE? before Rand slapped it out of my hand. Maybe.
–

I named it “Sarah.”

–
Outside a church in downtown Sofia, with some dude.

I have another version of this photo where I’m flipping off the camera, but it seemed inappropriate, what with the church and all. (Translation: I thought I looked fat.)
