My amazing foodie weekend

Image
Not that I've spent a whole weekend eating gourmet food. Not at all. However all the meals I've had during the weekend were amazing, very delicious even though not always looking good enough for me to take a picture. Starting with the best:  Friday evening going home to an amazing meal ready for me and served already! We had salmon with broccoli and shrimps.  Salmon & Shrimps on a Friday evening Definitely looks amazing and I can't even explain how magnificently delicious this was. I'm looking at the picture now and feel hungry again. The shrimps were magic! - cooked with garlic and white wine they were very fresh and therefore the taste was different. To compliment the meal I had a glass of the same white wine they were cooked it and it was the perfect combination! Even now I can feel the salmon melting in my mouth and it makes me close my eyes and get ready for my next perfect meal! Usually people use cheap wine when cooking as they don't want to

Reaching back in history in the Sofia History Museum

It's a place dedicated entirely to the history of the capital where you can see how the city changes and grows from at least 7000 BCE till today. The exhibition follows the historical order and is very easy to enjoy and really tourist-friendly with documentaries projected on the walls with both Bulgarian and English narrators. It's impressive to see the exhibition but it's also nice to enjoy what the narrators have to say- curious facts in an easy to understand language.  There are numerous halls dedicated to different time periods and things to see- from icons to a Mercedes and a train. One of the six I found out with surprise that Tsar Boris III was a huge fan and had 6 of those babies. One of them can be seen in the museum and honestly - it seems to be in a very good shape! I was personally impressed the most by the halls which represented the recent days - there were fantastic presents given to a Bulgarian prince or tsar by other countries' rulers

Lord of the dance - a unique experience

The dance masters came to Sofia recently and offered a unique experience for their fans! The hall was full and everyone enjoyed it! They come every year and this time they performed "Dangerous Games"which was so impressive that I couldn't take my eyes of the stay! Even had doubts whether it was proper to blink! Such an experience is once in a lifetime and the reason is that the group dynamic can be different every time. I've been to a mono spectacle of one of Bulgaria's best actors and was thrilled however people I know didn't seem to enjoy the play so I do believe that each performance is unique! The show includes songs by a beautiful lady with very gentle and nice voice, violin performances and of course - fabulous dances! Performing Dangerous Games Dangerous games Right before the interlude
