I hurried down to the meeting place for the free Sofia walking tour.
These free tours are an interesting phenomenon in lots of European cities. The idea is, I guess, that people work for tips. Or maybe it's to hone certain skills. Certainly, my guide was a historian.
There were many guides and a tremendous number of people, so they were all split up. I went with the last one who picked up the stragglers (that's me).
He walked us around the Sofia historic district, and eventually, I left him and headed to the archeology museum, then took a long walk over to the university.
Tomorrow I'd be starting my homestretch—that is, I'd be off to Barcelona, en route back home.
