Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Bulgaria to the United States of America – Her Excellency Elena Poptodorova – paid a visit to the Free Sofia Tour today.
Her Excellency joined the tour in the middle of it when the guests were in front of Bulgarian National Bank. She joined a group of 19 visitors from seven different countries, including USA, UK, Belgium, Spain, Czech Republic, Italy and Bulgaria.
Since there were some friends of Ambassador Poptodorova among the group, we were quick to find out that she was born on the exact same day. Therefore the whole group of Free Sofia Tour’s guests sang “Happy Birthday” in her honour.
Free Sofia Tour organizers would like to express their gratitude that Ambassador Poptodorova found time to join them on this special date for her.
Ambassador Poptodorova listened carefully the stories of the Sofia free tour at the next couple of stops, including the presentation of one of the most cherished Bulgarian traditions. Although it’s almost autumn, all guest of the tour received a martenitsa (a Bulgarian ornament, symbolising spring) as a gift from the tour.
Because of her busy schedule, the Ambassador had to leave early but not before she expressed how impressed she was by the tour, saying simply: “You guys are great!“
P.S. It’s a funny coincidence that my mom also has a birthday on the 31st of August. Happy birthday, mom! Thank you for everything!
