Milkshakes and Burgers

Last week we made an amazing discovery! We found a restaurant that serves American style burgers, milkshakes, fries and onion rings!  It is called ‘Boom.’   Since we have been here we have not found beef to have the same flavor that we are used to, but they use Irish Angus and it is delish!  I am afraid that we will be spending way too much time there!  It’ s a good thing that it is about a twenty minute walk from our home so that we can get some exercise on the way there and back.

Now this is a thick burger!!

We also discovered a new ‘glauv’, which is a pedestrian shopping area that many of the cities in Bulgaria have.  Sofia has a lot of things, but a glauv has not been one of them until now.  Saturday was a beautiful fall day so after a lunching on a cheeseburger and onion rings we strolled along with the other pedestrians and window shopped.  The day was so fantastic that it was great to just be outside.

 Saturday evening the missionaries put on a Halloween Party for the people that they are teaching, children, and anyone else who wanted to attend.  There was plenty of food, contests in doughnut eating and bobbing for apples, pumpkin carving and cookie decorating.  All that attended appeared to have a great time.  Halloween is not a local holiday but they enjoy the festivities anyway!

We are grateful for another enjoyable week in Sofia!  Wish you were here!
