Day 102: Kieran’s Solo Food Tour

Zee Germans were fun, but it’s been a long time since we’ve taken multiple shots. 11am rolled around and Mary was still down. Kieran grabbed soup and pizza, and she had 3 hours to rally for the free 2pm food tour. No luck.

Kieran ventured on and had a lovely experience. The tour was 100% free which is rare for food tours. First stop was MEKITSA AND COFFEE where they make homemade ayran salted yogurt drink. Kieran is not an ayran fan and yet he liked this version of the drink. They proceeded to a burger and wine shop, where he was served a red/white blend called Pelin. They also tried Bulgarian donut pastries at Pastry of Sofia.

On the tour Kieran met Tobias, a German structural engineer who worked in different countries throughout his life (Abu Dabi, Romanian, US). They hit it off talking about engineering nerd stuff and decided to meet up for dinner later.

Mary emerged from her cocoon of despair and joined for dinner, but headed home early after the restaurant band started playing tunes next to us.

Bonus photo of shame for Mary and her failure to realize she isn’t 22 anymore.
