Learning the Ropes

As previously mentioned in this space, the driving and parking strategies here are a bit more aggressive than what I am used to.  However, it is not chaos, as I first thought.  In fact, as you can see, in Sofia, the city fathers have accepted the methods by which the citizen drivers will park, and have adjusted their parking spaces accordingly.

As you can see, they just painted the lines for the parking stalls directly on the sidewalk.  Problem solved.

Although I admit to having a mild obsession with the parking habits of the Bulgarian people, observing them does not take all of our time.  We have also had the chance to sample the local cuisine.  Like anyplace, there are hits and misses, but that's part of the adventure.  We did happen upon a place pushing hamburgers.  Here's what we got:

Not a bad burger by the good people of "Shot Food."  I am not sure it was a "hit" but not a bad burger.
