A really cool window! St. Sophia's construction was started in the year 1017.Fantastic archaeology!

St. Sophia's Bell Tower - I believe this construction was started in the 1800s, but not positive.

Detail of the Bell Tower - beautiful!

Walking on the way to St. Sophia's - near our flat: a cool composition of old and new architecture combined!

 

We pass by this wall statue when we leave our flat. This dude is really worried about something!

  

Meeting with SDA was as it should be today - all is well. Will hear more later tomorrow from the SDA. Then an all night train ride followed by a car ride for several hours to our next destination. We will post tomorrow, then we'll be off line while traveling to our next post!  Lovely weather today. Beats drizzle and snow yesterday. Still chilly, though!
