On Friday we spent the morning at the apartment catching up on laundry and relaxing. We heated up some leftover pizza from Raffy for lunch and then decided to do some sight-seeing and shopping. We met up with Ben and Heather and walked to the St. Nedelya Church and Presidential Palace. We also visited the White Stork gift shop since so many adoptive families speak so highly of it. We had searched for this specific gift shop on several previous visits to Sofia and had never been able to find it. We finally found it, and honestly, I wasn't very impressed. It was small, hot, and the employee wasn't very friendly. We picked up a few souvenirs there and headed back towards Vitosha. Here are a few pictures from our sightseeing adventure:
We stopped for a few groceries before making our way back to the apartment. We visited several grocery stores, but this grocery store seemed to have the best selection. (For any families who are staying near Vitosha, it's located at 2 Solunska Street.) Our normal shopping trips included a variety of juice, yogurt, soda, cereal, milk, fresh fruit and snacks. They had everything we needed. Ivan fell asleep in the stroller on the way back and was not interested in napping when we returned to the apartment, but Nikolas rested for a bit until it was time to leave again.
We had an early dinner before meeting up with Ben and Heather for gelato. After our snack we walked to the end of Vitosha Blvd. near the National Palace of Culture. Being Friday evening there were a lot of people out. Nikolas really enjoyed the many street performers. We loved having dinner outside and then walking along Vitosha Blvd. in the evenings. After a while it began to feel very normal to us. It was so relaxing!
