We left Sofia by bus yesterday, arrived after about 2.5 hours and checked into the centrally-located Villa Flavia. \u00a0It\u2019s very nice. \u00a0Our room is large, the breakfast very good and it\u2019s reasonably-priced.<\/p>\n

Today we walked to the Ancient Roman Theater. \u00a0We were very careful not to tumble down the marble steps as there are very few hand rails. \u00a0The theater was constructed in the 1st Century AD. \u00a0It can hold between 5000 and 7000 spectators and during the summer they host plays and musical performances there.<\/p>\n

Larry brought along his drone to get a birds-eye view but unfortunately, a nice security guard told him that he couldn\u2019t launch from inside the theater. \u00a0He told Larry that he could fly from outside the theater grounds but Larry decided not to do so. \u00a0Below the yellow circle shows the drone during its brief flight.<\/p>\n

There are many street food options around town – gelato, shawarma, and pizza-by-the-slice, but the most unique snack is a cup of sweet corn with butter on top! \u00a0It\u2019s very popular!<\/p>\n

We can see the minaret on the mosque at the end of our street! \u00a0It\u2019s a good landmark in a city of twisty, turning streets.<\/p>\n
