Interesting things about Sofia - They took twenty years to finish their underground rail system because they kept on hitting ancient ruins and had to keep change the direction of the line to preserve them. When you go into the underground it is like a museum because the ruin are integrated into their subway.

Interesting fact about Bulgaria - Though aligned with Nazis no Bulgarian Jews were sent to concentration camps because the people protested and stopped it. The government just kept on telling the Germans they would do it soon until the war was finally over. Also they probably would not have even fought in the war if it was not for Pearl Harbor. So it looked they were actually doing something they declared war on America thinking they would not get involved, but after the bombing the US took them up on their offer.

Had some really good walks around this town and went to some pretty cool bars last night. One is in an old stables connected to a house.
