Our Sunday Saunter...

We had a very relaxing weekend.  On Sunday, we decided to walk to the center, find a cafe, and just chill out for a while.  It was nice... especially since it was in the low 70's and breezy.  Perfect.

A few days ago, Joy posted some pictures from her route to/from work.  Here are some pictures from this weekend, mostly on our way to the cafe.

First, here's Joy's name in Bulgarian!  This is the sign for a little Kindergarten near our apartment:


Then, we have the International Fair location... it happens every May and September.  This next event looks right up Randall's alley!


Next, we crossed over the Maritsa River where we found a fisherman.  We know quite a few folks back home that would LOVE to get in on this activity...


After the river, there is an orthodox seminary for high school boys.  We'll tell more about it later, but we went to their 6:30 services last night.  It was very interesting :) 


Close by, was this wall of a building with Soviet artwork on it.  If you look closely, you can find Randall!


After grabbing something to eat, we made it to the outdoor cafe.  We absolutely love how Europe happens outside throughout the summer.



After hanging out for a while (and skyping with Joy's parents!), we wandered around and found this guy playing the Bulgarian bagpipes:

 
We also found an Orthodox church and were impressed with this parsonage.  Very cozy.


Almost back home, we found this hilarious advertisement... it's encouraging males to leverage their finances so as not to have to live with their mother until they retire :)  Though, this guy doesn't have too bad of a situation, if you ask us!


If that's not food for thought, not sure what is! :)

Have a good Monday, folks!
