A quieter day...
I got up about nineish, and headed out to find some breakfast and some colorfull card and related artsy supplies to suplement the materials supplied by the school. Sam is 30, originally from London and teaches in Odessa. We found a place by the name of Jimmie's which while mainly about coffee and icecream also served a pleasant variety of paninis and teas. We then strolled on into the heart of Sofia admiring the architecture and variety of life. I didn't bring the camera as it was very dull and hazy when we set out, and given the size of the buildings in question any shots would have to be quite distant. We never did find any suitable card, but got most of our needs and saw some of the rugged beauty of this city.

According to my GPS the city is half a kilometer above sea level, which makes the 2.5 kilometer high mountains outside the city that much more impressive again. The first non-hazy day that I can get a few daylight hours out of class I'll be going on a photography rampage.

I've been sleeping for too many hours and feeling continuously thirsty, so its back to some salty snack foods for me.
